	When I had both SBC and RawBW in Berkeley (SBC Business Class
line) I regularly got 10kb/s faster on my RawBW line. Since moving to
Walnut Creek the SBC speeds have improved a bit. Knowing more than I
probably should about the RawBW network, there are some oversubscription
possibilities that concern me in theory, but as a customer I certainly
never found a time when I couldn't get my full 1.5mb. I also have no
information suggesting any other ISP's config is less prone to
oversubscription bottlenecks.
