Alright, if anyone's curious, I went with Charter.
I've been doing DSL for over 5 years (before that, ISDN; before that, dialup, of course), and I thought it'd be nice to try out Charter. I know lots of folks have 'em & like it.
The price is good: $30/mo, as long I put the billing on a credit card for automatic payment. OK by me. I also made it clear that I use DirecTV and will not be changing. Also no problem: when they do the free install, they're just gonna have to run another coax cable into the house. With the free install, I also get a free modem. Cool.
The best part: I called today, & they're installing it on SATURDAY. Wow. Beat that, DSL!
As for ValueNet, ptui! Their customer service was laughable, and it's pretty low to leave 100s of folks in the lurch like this. Still, I gotta say that I really never had any problems using their DSL service. Looks like they had problems figuring out how to bill folks, though. ;)
Thanks to everyone for all your help.

And there's Bread Co a few more blocks away. And then there's Wash-U -- have you visited the rehabbed Olin Library with their wireless and wired connection in the cafe section? Who needs wireless when you've got fiber? :)
