I've had basically zero downtime on my DSL line. Any outages I've had have
either been scheduled for upgrades, a couple of times router failures (one
of which took out my city, because the router that failed was in the covad
facility), and the occasional router programming glitch. And none of that
you can blame on the DSL line, because router stuff can happen on ANY
network.

But overall, I had MUCH higher levels of outages on my old 56K leased line
than I ever had on my DSL line.

See my other note on this. That's why they have business lines. If you're
plaing the "go cheap and hope they don't find out" game, that's not the
ISP's fault.
