I've been a very satisfied DCAnet - DSL customer since Bell Atlantic days.
[I'm one of those folks who has DSL from Verizon with DCAnet as my ISP.]

I have had no problems with it since BA finally got their CO's working...
some ?3? years now, I guess.

The early days of DSL were fraught with serious hardware/software problems
at the RBOC's Central Office.

Static IP address, DNS pointing, all that good stuff is available from
them.  And if you're associated with Penn, they're only 1 hop away!

I happen to run a collection of Macs (OS X), Airport (802.11) providing NAT
service, and Alphas runing SuSE (Alpha Linux) and Tru64 Unix. My lead Alpha
has now been up 250 days since the last power outage was caused by the cat
(don't ask.) Prior to that, it had been up for well over a year.
