I've been with PN about 6 months and don't regret it.  I'm about
15,000 feet from the CO and have 208K SDSL using Rhythms.  No bandwidth
complaints.

Negatives I have seen:

* 2 outages totaling about 1.5 days (not bad for residential DSL) 
* Spotty Usenet (on 2 occasions I had to resubscribe to all my groups) 
* Long hold times for tech support
