Seeking good, inexpensive DSL ISP

[Vaughn Treude]

Thanks to all for the feedback and recommendations.  I checked out FastQ and
ViaWest, and they looked good, but I ended up going with Deru for one
reason - they were less expensive.  A few months back, that wouldn't have
been a concern, but business is slow these days.  :-(
Anyway, Deru charges $20 a month if you pay monthly, but it's cheaper for
longer time periods.  At $55 for three months, I'm paying only a few more
cents than the 17.95 I was paying to Getnet.  What's more, Deru gives me a
backup dialup account, something Getnet didn't do.  Qwest had that, so I
just assumed that Getnet did as well and I didn't even ask when I switched
over.  But when I went on vacation a couple of months ago, I was appalled to
find out I couldn't access my account on the road without setting up a
separate dialup.  I think they had a price break for DSL customers, but it
was still pretty steep for a service that I'd probably only use for 2-3
weeks out of the year.  Hopefully this new account will be more reliable.
If not, I'll be switching again in 3 months.
