I love Genuity's latest set of commercials. Who doesn't have a "legacy"
in their network? Much better than Black Rocket (anything would have been
better).
For Internet stuff they are very good. Genuity is a bi-coastal provider,
lots of business on the east and west coast, only a little in the middle
of the country. They don't have as high a brand recognition as some other
providers, and they don't have a multi-product (long-distance, cell
phones, etc) sales force. Genuity is one of a few providers I would
recommend as a primary ISP. As a tertiary provider, they might be a
bit pricey in comparison to some of the other bit-mover providers. But
when you need NOC support, they are top-notch.
