I'm looking at DSL carriers. I'm mainly interested in reliability, since it's going on a household computer that'll be used by non-computer saavy people, so I don't want them to have to fight with outages or problems.

Suggestions? The only DSL provider I have direct experience with is Earthlink.

I've been very happy with AT&T. But when it really comes down to it, you're really affected by the local service provider much more than you are by your ISP. In my case, any problems that I have are a result of Verizon, not AT&T.

If your local telephone service provides DSL service, I would go with them (unless your current ISP is offering service through the local phone company and you don't want to go through the hassle of changing your e-mail address.

If you can, go with broadband via your cable provider.

Same price, much faster and much more reliable.

Cable's not an option, which is why I have to limit it to DSL.

Maybe I'm wrong, but the phone company ones usually want you to bundle services to get an attractive rate, and I know there's no way they'll change LD carriers (Sprint). So that also limits choices.

I (almost) miss the days when it was all about how fast a modem you could afford.

Is your phone service sbc or at&t? They are currently offering sbc yahoo sdl
dsl 768kbs - 1.5mb downstream for 12.99 a month for 1 year.

Self install
There will be a 50 dollar charge for modem but they include a mail-in rebate for 50.00.
What the final monthly bill will be i'm not sure I recntly got it myself. I would think it should be no more that 20 a month. 12.99 + "other charges". Its for a limited time so get it while you can, if you can.
