I'm using SBC (now AT&T) DSL Express. I'm paying $19/month and it's plenty fast for me.

Beat me to it!

I use Road Runner. I don't know what we pay for it as my wife's an accountant and handles paying the bills.

hacking into the lines is fairly simple actually.

Because I have nothing but problems with it. At my Dad's house, he has DSL and it is a lot better than my Comcast. He only lives a mile or so away from me too.

I'm not sure, I'll have to ask. It is just as fast as my comcast (when comcast is working) and he pays around $20 a month.

Sounds like my package. SBC/AT&T have a few different grades of DSL (speed wise). I used to be paying $25.99/month for the "slow" grade. Then last year they offered me the "faster" grade DSL Express....and for only $19.99/month. I took that right then and there. I've been very happy with it.
