I've had DSL via Real-Time since the summer of 2001. Real-Time has been pretty "transparent"; their services have just worked. Too bad I can't say the same for Qwest! Qwest has been a major pain since I moved in 2002, not just for data but voice as well. I had to call them on average of once a month during the summer; things seem to improve during the winter. I have given up on getting anything resembling decent customer service from Qwest. If there are any DSL alternatives in S Mpls I'm all ears. I haven't done any price comparisons lately, so I'm not sure where they rank in that regard, but I have no complaints regarding customer service or uptime. RT has been pretty helpful to me; I'm pretty sure I owe the RT crew some $LIQUID_REFRESHMENT for answering some of my dumber questions.
