I'm fairly happy with Directv DSL wired by Verizon. And they have an
intro deal of $19.95/mo for the first three months, then $49.95/mo
after. What speed line is the $60 Covad line? The Directv DSL lines
are 640/128 in my area (and from what I've read should be the same in
the rest of PA), so don't believe that you'll actually get the peak 1.5M
as advertised on Directv DSL's web page. (http://www.directvdsl.com/)
