I've had both very good service and marginally bad service.
I think it depends on who gets assigned your problem.
I've certainly seen worse customer service from other
vendors, and believe on the whole BSDi tries hard in
this area.

My most recent support experience was decidedly negative
(they never did fix my problem) and since it was directly 
prior to renewing my contract, I decided not to renew, 
at least for a while. One thing that would help, I believe,
is a way to escalate your problem if the initial contact
is unable to help.
