Yes I have. Aren't they the people who were engaged in a long-running 
criminal conspiracy to break the law and commit illegal warrantless 
surveillance of American citizens?

If you look at the reviews here:

http://www.dslreports.com/gbu/

they are a distinct second-class ISP, with average B scores. Perhaps 
that's better than "rubbish", but it's nothing to be proud about when you 
are a company the size of AT&T. When you have that many resources, 
anything less than straight A+ is a failure.

And that's not even mentioning their lack of News access, their ham-
fisted and clueless blocking of 4chan (whether in legitimate self-defence 
or not), or their stance on net neutrality.

But the really sad thing is that you think that "bigger" automatically 
equals "better".
