Well, I've been with Speakeasy for three months now and haven't had any
unannounced outages. And even the announced outages were handled very well--
lots of notice sent to both my se-mails and (an added bonus) they listed
exactly what the tehnical problems were and how they were resolved (naming
vendor names and all). I think that's way cool! They have an ADSL line for
49.95 (they call "Essential Edge") which is a 608/128 DL/UL with one dynamic
IP, one POP, and one Linux shell. For $10 more ("Essential Edge Plus", you get
2 static IPs and 2 POPs (as well as the Linux shell [telnet or ssh]). I have
the "Net expert Plus) which is the same as "Essential Edge Plus", except that
it's 1.5M/384 DL/UL speed. Very cool!
Rates for Philly are here:

I also know that DCA is very popular in this group and they have the added
advantage of being local (Speakeasy are in Seattle), but I hadn't heard of them
and had already gone with Speakeasy.
