[ale] anyone have any experience with cbeyond they'd like to share

My only experience with Cbeyond has been working with a customer who 
uses them for Internet connectivity and VPN access.

I'm not involved in the day-to-day operations of this customer's 
network, so I probably wouldn't hear of any minor outages, but if 
anything major happens, I'm typically brought in.

On the Internet access front, they seem to be reliable. The one time 
that they were suspected of having a lot of packet loss, the problem 
turned out to be a flaky firewall.

With their VPN service, I wasn't too impressed with the fact that they 
use PPTP for the VPN, and required a change in the customer's internal 
IP addressing scheme. Once everything was setup though, it worked 
reliably, and has continued to as far as I know.
