On the recommendation of dslreports and that of several casual friends (not to mention the general good reputation) I signed up with speakeasy, opting for their “cable killer” adsl and their “SysAdmin” package and took advantage of every special offer and rebate they had going. Right now, I’m on dial-up while my line is provisioned. I seriously doubt I’ll see anything near 6Mbit/s downloads but for $10/month more than 1.5M I thought I would take the chance. So far, very good company with which to deal.
