I've read very little about them here. What are people's experiences with
Meganet, specificially their "Cable-Buster ISDN" service?

I dunno Josh. With a name like Meganet....;-)

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode, when Homer decided to start an
Internet company....

Josh,

I have been using their "Cable Buster" service since July. I have
not had any problems. Downloads are around 15K/sec on zipped files.
It is a good deal for a dedicated 24/7 connection, I pay around 35
to BA for the line and 50 to Meganet.

Oh, really? Even for, say, transferring files from one's work machine to
one's home machine? Hm. That's a bit annoying. I'd have to talk to them
about it, I think.

Ironic that I make a Homer Simpson reference and Walter Palmer pops up.
Heya Walter, how's post TIAC life going...;-)

Mike: Very very well! Qwest has many fine products with a super OC-48
brand new fiber optic network going to OC-192! We guarantee no packet
loss. We can do this because it is so new and ready to rock. Just about
everyone I talk to is interested in what we offer.
