For the most part, I don't see that the level of service is much different
if you sign up for a business class DSL line.
You get an SLA, like a T1
The phone company (usually) gives you a 24 hour turnaround time on line
repairs, like a T1
If the ISP itself is incompetent, or just doesn't care about their
customers, or is too overwhelmed to manage their business, you can't knock
the technology for that.
