im on the clara.net 360hrs/month anytime package.
seems to work fine, never been cut off despite my network's gentoo mirror doing a emerge rsync ; emerge --fetchonly -u world every night, and a long timeout. 7 machines on network, 5 clients, and a coupla servers.
ive not yet a) been knowingly offline, i havent checked, but ive never heard it dial when i use the net, and ive never failed to connect while outside (dyndns hostname). Methinks it merely tends to be connected in the evenings, as opposed to 24/7 though. b) failed to dialup first attempt.
bear in mind i hit the 150 hrs/month limit of my old Quik account roughly about the 15th... PS DONT use quik. they took 3 months to cancel my payment, their mail server was crap, and they didnt actually attempt to warn me before cuting my account off every month.

Oops! sorry about the spurious anti-virus tag. Updated my virus
scanner and
didn't notice that it'd turned the tagging back on.
