Yes, it's cheap. However, last time I had a customer service issue with 
them their response was, and I quote, "Well, we ARE a cheap bandwidth 
provider, we just don't do all the things other companies do."

This was after they refused to block a DDOS attack targeted to us. I 
ended up having to re-route the affected block through another provider 
who would filter.

I would only consider using them as a backup.
