Tonight, as expected, my DSL quit working at about 10:30pm. It seems 
that the process of switching providers was underway. Speedfactory told 
me to expect it to work by morning, so I configured my trusty Linksys 
with my new PPPoE username and password, and figured I'd check on it 
later on tonight, just to see.

Of course, I didn't tell my wife this had happened, so by about 10:35, I 
  got a spousal tech support call (ie, a scream up from downstairs: 
"Mike, the DSL seems to be out"). As I'm ambling down from upstairs, I 
hear, "nevermind, it works now"? Huh, what, already?

Yep, only about 10 minutes of downtime, 15 if you count the time I had 
to take to update my DNS records, etc. Pretty slick if you ask me.

Now, tomorrow or the next day I'll have to call to see if Bellsouth has 
    stopped billing me for DSL, see if I can pare down my phone service 
to something cheaper than complete choice, etc.

Mike
