With DSL, I am more likely to have a choice... (last time I checked [about 2 years ago], Speakeasy has no port blocks and actually encourage you running your own server on the provided static IP. I don't know whether it is still the case.) Verizon is no better than Cable in this regards, but it will be cheaper (and since the most important internet application that I use is ssh, I doubt 368K vs. 1m is a big difference anyway).
