I'm still paying $46.95/mo for Omsoft, but currently you can sign up
for $34.95. Why don't I switch? I don't want the outage while I cancel
and sign up agan.

They're a good service - it changes my IP a few times a day, but SSH
sessions generally last a long time. The most annoying thing about
them is their transparent web proxy.

Oh, and my typical download rate is 30kilobytes/sec.

In the LUGOD FAQ, we recommend Omsoft, and that recommendation is
probably still justified.
