Laura,

I am using Onelink service: it required two tries with Covad and two 
with Verizon and the best they could do for speed is 980/384. However, 
Speakeasy kept trying until they got it to work, and then they 
discounted the price for me. I recommend Speakeasy for excellent 
customer service, "real world" attitude, and a flexible approach to 
problems.
