I use Direcway presently as my primary link. I refer to it as, "Dialup
Plus!" As a previous poster noted, ssh sessions are painful. I now resort
to typing e-mails out in a local text editor and cutting and pasting them
into my ssh window.
Here's a local traceroute performed just now at 7am on a Wednesday to a
random service like Google. Performance gets significantly poorer during
peak business hours. High d/l rates are only achievable late at night it
seems.
