We've been with the 'railroad' in Raleigh's Five Points for a couple of 
years now.  For the most part, the network connectivity has been good. 
There have been a couple of notable drop-outs, but they were resolved 
quickly enough.  Speed can be dependent on others on your local segment.

POP and SMTP service have suffered some pretty major outages, one 
lasting more than three days.   SMTP delivery times can get longish at 
times.  (They seem to be outsourcing their NNTP services, I wish they'd 
do the same with mail.)  Overall, it's been OK.

Hopefully what you're seeing is an anomoly.  I know they suffered a 
fiber cut late yesterday afternoon that disabled a good portion of their 
Raleigh cable and IP network.
