I ditched Verizon for phone and kept Speakeasy for internet.  In my 
case, I already had them on separate lines, but Speakeasy does sell 
naked DSL.  I think I'm paying something like 2 dollars more because 
the line is being billed to Covad and not to me. 

Of course it does mean depending on Verizon's ability to keep a line 
connected, which is abysmal.  But I've only once had an outage that 
would have been long enough to get Comcast connected.

I missed "The West Wing" every day and the people I worked with.  And 
I missed putting on a show every week.  What I didn't miss was the 
feeling of constantly having a term paper due.
