I was on 3web for a while.  They were great when they worked.  Twice
during a year of service, there was an unexplained outage of 24 hours
or more.  The Rogers network was fine, it was something in the back
end.

Other than those two extended outages, they were rock solid and fast.

I'd say that they're fine if you're using the Internet for games and
stuff, but if you're doing any real work with it, it's not good
enough.
