Hey Yourself, I don't think standalone DSL is a big deal here. Your options depend upon where you are going to be physicall/geographicaly located. To my knowledge, Cox is the only non Qwest provider that has its own infrastructure. Everyone else simply rents the physical circuit from Qwest.

Besides Cox and Qwest, what are my other options? I'm looking for the best cost/performance ratio (but i'd prefer a lower cost). Jon <><
