Speakeasy DSL

Someone suggested SpeakEasy was an iffy DSL source... I've had SpeakEasy for
several years at four different locations now, and the only complaint I have
is on price. Where I am now, 1.5Mbps/768Kbps is $80/month (with 8 static
IP's and NO service restrictions) and I'm told for $100/mo I can get
6Mbps/768Kbps service.
Verizon will be cheaper for the speed, but their TOS specifically forbade
running servers last time I checked. Also, Speakeasy is perfectly happy to
hear that you use Linux, they're comfortable with it, and don't require you
have a Windows machine to install any software on. During debug on the
occasion I was experiencing intermittent disconnects, the tech support guy
even knew ifconfig and other *nix utilities...turns out the upstream
junction box on our line had a cracked seal and was half-full of water.
Just my $0.02....
