I just wanted to weigh in and say Bitinstant has been phenomenal in resolving customer issues. I know they've been dealing with difficult security matters lately, but if you email support and/or Gareth and Charlie they will respond and help you. I have just been frustrated as of late that there is a recurring theme where I have to email support each week when I attempt to buy bitcoins. I hope Bitinstant soon stabilizes to the point where you can literally expect your coins in an instant rather than waiting a day or two. I remember not too long ago walking to CVS, paying with Moneygram, and then seeing the deposit appear by the time I logged back in to my computer 5 minutes later. I'm sure this is only a matter of time. I'd rather not have to use an alternative because Bitinstant is the fastest and most convenient service available IMHO.
