Changing providers

    I am actively looking to change providers from Sound Net. I 
want to leave my linux box on all the time. Domain is registered.
Does anyone have experience with dedicated 24x7 service over modem 
with either KCInternet(aka WorldInternet) or KCNet?  How about 
any other providers?
    Afraid I  must stick with modem connection. At 26,500 feet from
the central office, I can only dream of high speed. And of course
RoadRunner is not available for those of us that run servers. Can't
justify T1 and probably not even fractional T1 though would be
interested in what it might cost. Guess will have to call SWBell.
    Am interested in price of course, but price doesn't mean
much if the provider can't reliably provide 24x7 service. (Have
to ignore SWBell problems in the middle of course.)
    Part of the problem I see is getting Network Solutions to
change the DNS entries to point to whoever I switch to. If that
gets screwed up....
    You would think with almost 9 pages of access providers in 
the yellow pages that this would be easy. As always, a referral
is worth more than an ad in the yellow pages.
