I echo the prior recommendations of SpeakEasy and avoiding Comcast. Depending upon where you are, SpeakEasy does not provision all locations, how far you are from a CO (Central Office) the availability of services will vary. I really liked SpeakEasy when I lived in a location that they provisioned service in. Pricing was not the least expensive, though for the most part they were tech savvy, and easy to work with. I would recommend reviewing the site, and particularly the forums, at http://www.dslreports.com/ (It is really about all broadband services...not just dsl). There is a wealth of information on providers, test tools, and forums specific to some of your choices. Michael On May 16, 2008, at 2:28 PM, Kristian K.
