I am interested in this as well. My Grandfather asked me about
Bellsouth this week because he has the cheapest service Speedfactory
offers and it is more expensive than the 1.5Mb package from Bellsouth.
But, now that I think about it, he uses a Netgear router so it may not
be too difficult.

As for Speakeasy. I wouldn't be surprised if Bellsouth is not renewing
3rd party contracts and refusing to give service that would go beyond
the 3rd party's current contract. Damn the FCC.
