Chris:
I am watching with eager anticipation, MediaNone and Hellsouth coming down each end of my street with their competing products. I was mid order
with speakeasy on a IDSL line due to the fact that I was 29K feet from the CO. Look at www.dslreports.com and you can see what the best deal out
there for you is. During my research, Speakeasy always got high marks for customer service etc....of course, YMMV
