We've found they're excellent at picking out the best option for any
particular exchange/distance, getting difficult installs done and providing
excellent performance over *whatever* option is available.

Support-wise - yes, they do know what they're doing, but they know it and
they don't suffer fools particularly. If you know what you're talking about,
they're very good, if you're not a network engineer, you're better off using
a reseller who can talk to their support for you.
