[ale] Speakeasy DSL (Anyone here have it?)

[Chris Fowler]

I think I pay around $60 for month.

Pros:
  Static IP
  No PPPOE
  Good support and help in under a minute.

Cons:
 Can not think of any


The bottom line is there is DSL and then there *is* DSL.  Its your
choice as to which DSL you want.
