I just took an internet connection from Powersurfer.net just about two weeks back. Everybody who has written reviews seem to be complaining about a low speed, as long as it is better than a dial-up and has no download limits (like some ISP's), I highly recommend it.
Download speeds I have received have been exactly double the speed I was getting when I was on a dialup. I would recommend using a third party download software like Getright or Netants[this s/w downloads at thrice the speed of Getright ofcourse you would have suspend web browsing to let the download complete;-)]
It works really great with a Windows XP, with a Windows 98 it gives frequent disconnections. It also gives you access to other computers on the same network if they are sharing files. File transfer rate from the computers on the network is unbelievable. The downside to this is you could end up sharing the same viruses the other user may have. A updated antivirus s/w is a must.
The 24 hour helpdesk is also helpful, I called them at 3 in the night and got a guy who helped me out.
