I'll keep it simple, since I don't like typing very much.  I like DSL 
better than cable (in theory, anyway) since you're not sharing bandwidth 
with your neigbors.  SBC is one of my LEAST favorite companies, so I 
went with TDS Metrocom.  256K bidirectional for $30/month, or 512 for 
$40.  And you get a primitive but solid NAT router.  Actual 24 hour live 
support that gets you a human on the phone, even!

Only problem is that DSL is really finicky about house wiring, but 
that's gonna be the case regardless of who provides it.
