I totally agree with Noah's comments. I've used NameCheap for about 6 years, and every interaction has been positive, quick and accurate. I highly recommend them.
I just got back from a visit to the Amazon. My hotel gave me about 200kbps internet, and there were many sites that were unusable. Even the standard GMail inbox page refused to load; I guess the JavaScript expected a certain response time and refused to function outside those limits.
Throttling people to 256kbps is going to hurt a lot more today than it would have 10 years ago, when web pages had lower expectations.
