SpeakEasy is transitioning over to using Covad's network. This means we get a new DSL modem (eh, whatever), our IP addresses are changing (mildly irritating) and broadband's down at home for four hours on Friday (boo!). But they're doubling our download rate and tripling our upload rate for the same price (yay!).

Overall, I've been extremely impressed at how communicative they've been, and just generally how well they're handling the transition. So in my book, SpeakEasy gets two thumbs up on this one.

Though it'd be better if we could keep the same IP addresses.

But then you'd have to borrow a third thumb from somewhere, and that could get messy.

It generally sounds like they've been more reasonable in handling the transition than any other company.

Sigh. If only I were a koala. They have two opposable thumbs on each hand!

You really know the oddest bits of trivia. It's just this gift you seem to have.

It's endearing.

I blame that one on a visit to the San Francisco Zoo.

Just in general, I have a good memory for silly stuff, or anything I find interesting. Anything with extra opposable thumbs (who can thus taunt us as we can taunt cats about doorknobs) would qualify as interesting :-)

The incredibly simple Terms of Service are a huge plus, in my book. "Don't use so much bandwidth we have to charge more money" basically sums it up.

Personal game and web servers? Shared wireless network? Multiple machines behind NAT using every OS under sun? Go for it!

It's great.
