[Skunkworks] Your opinions on the best corporate ISP

Hi guys, Someone I know is looking for *opinions* on what ISP to go for. They've been on a 1 Mbps link from some ISP and what they are getting is far from satisfactory. So he's looking for an ISP with low downtimes, fair cost and excellent customer service. Someone has already suggested UUNET because they are now MTN... but I think that's a speculation, but it may be a correct assumption. Your ideas are most welcome and appreciated. Me. P.S. If you work for a ISP, please don't forward this to your sales and marketing team as I am not soliciting for quotations and requests for appointments; just *opinions* ;-)
