"Abominably slow email servers, pricey rates"

I ordered Cyberonic 6 Mbps DSL over a Covad dryline about 3 years ago. It is $90 a month for 6 Mbps downstream. The dry line was installed by a Covad technician. They supplied a Brightport modem-router. The router reports 6016 sync.
Cyberonic's email servers are abominable. Remember 2400 bps modems? That's what it's like to wait on them. Often it never connects. SMTP, POP, webmail all glacial. Coincidentally I'm sure, after I downgraded my review of Cyberonic, my sync speed mysteriously dropped from 6016 + to 2016 ... safe mode.
I reported the low sync to Cyberonic tech support and they reset the connection. It then immediately returned to the normal 6016 that I'm paying for. Therefore, I'm upgrading this review slightly, but Cyberonic's email services remain the worst in the business.
