ps FWIW, I'm now on Qwest DSL, alas, for XO's support is dying and they wouldn't even try to diagnose my line's speed drop. It's a pain living on 8 IP's when I had 32 with XO, but with a couple NATs running for port redirects I'm making do and the speed is much better. Qwest's DSL uptime not quite as good, and often their internal network is slower than XO's backbone, but for that final mile XO started provisioning its own DSL but weren't nearly as good at it as poor departed Northpoint...*shudders at XO DSL* My orkplace has XO DSL, and it's truly pathetic. It randomly dies, sometimes is as slow as molasses (even though it's 4:00am, and nobody else at work is there but me), and generally sucks. Their DNS resolvers are particularly pathetic -- I had to switch to my home DSL connection's DSL servers while at work. Fortunately, they do resolving for non-client IPs, so I was able to continue to work.
I use Speakeasy.net, and am highly satisfied with them. There are no words to express the lack of suck-factor that Speakeasy has. I would strongly suggest anyone looking for DSL connectivity in the US to see if Speakeasy has service in your area.
Just my $0.02.
P.S. Did anyone else stop by the Stalker booth at Macworld San Francisco this last week? I know I was there, and chatted with the folks there for 15 minutes or so.
