Yep!  I've had no problem with their DSL, which I've had down here in
Mountain View since I moved, exactly 12mos ago today :^)
(Well, okay, the DSL wasn't set up on day one, but... it IS the 1yr anniv
of my move from my temp place in SJ to my current place!)

They're generally cool people, too.  Pro-consumer (they go out and fight
the good fight[1]) and pro-Linux[2].

[2] Well, okay: "Sonic does not provide official support for Linux; we
    cannot provide telephone or email support for Linux-specific
    inquiries. For help, please post to the sonic.help and sonic.os.unix
    newsgroups."  But guess what, when you email support and say
    "hey, can you install a newer version of Links on the shell server?",
    they do it ;^)
