newbie needs ISP recommendations

[arthur dent]

Greetings all,

I'm new to PLUG but not new to *nix, having used various flavors for years at work and have 
been running RH6.0 for over a year now at home.

I'm fed up with the continued incompentence of  my current ISP - T1AMERICA - and am
seeking recommendations for a good ISP to sign up with. "Good" being defined as 
   - support 56k dial-up, good modem/user ratio
   - have newsserver with plenty of newsgroups covered and fast feed
   - very high reliability
   - high degree of privacy
   - solid support ( techies should know their business on THEIR end)
   - prefer  local dialup number(s)

Any suggestions? This list seems to be the best place to ask such a quesiton. Names/URLs 
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

raftman
