Again, yes.  

1.) When my ISP screws up, it screws up in a big way, and prevents access
to everything, not just a few hand picked sites.  Take last night.  They
managed to down every dialup within a ten mile radius of where I am right
now for no good reason.

2.) I looked at the traceroutes, and they've died in Germany somewhere,
indicating that this is not a problem on my end.

3.) When it works, it saturates my connection (33.6 modem), so it's not
network *speed* that's the problem.  It's the reliability.  Or what about
when the sysadmin decides to mirror a few GB and the /usr (or whatever)  
partition fills up?

I'm just saying that it would be nice to have a CVS server that *someone*
can fix in say a matter of hours, and not days.
