I just checked the line where I am moving to in Greensboro NC and they 
can service this.  So I may be switching from Earthlink the Speakeasy.  
I really like the 768K upload plan for ADSL.  Even the SDSL isn't too 
bad for a SOHO that needed it.  Prices must be coming down overall cause 
this type service seems cheap for what you get.

Speakeasy:
$70/month for 8 static IPs, 100 email, 1.5M down, 256K up, service 
agreement, managed mail hosting and Linux support.

Earthlink:
$65/month for one static IP, 5 email, 1.5M down, 256K up, and very 
little real support.

I am wondering if the more expensive SDSL plans aren't worth it in the 
long run for home offices.
