FWIW, I've had good luck with pcb-pool, two flawless boards (one two layer, one four
layer). They can also provide solder paste stencils, which I will take them up on next
time. (Soldering TSSOP devices by hand is a nuisance, to put it mildly.)

When I was at Bristol, we catually set-up an in-ohuse CPB production
facilty (for up to double sided boards) because every PCB manufacturer we
rtried was useless. For multi-layer boards we got some amazing results.
Layers missing. Layers in the wrong order (it matters a lot when you are
tryign to put striplines between 2 ground planes. i think once even a
layer mirror-reversed. And the number of bad tracks? Unless you need to make a lot of them, I would
have tought it was quicker
to crimp a ribbon cable to the Berg socket, splig the other ind into
individual wires and solder thsoe to the DB25 (or DE9) connecotr than to
etch and drill the PCB.
I lost patience with making my own PCBs eons ago (and anyway where I live
