Has Comcast changed their Terms Of Service recently?  I've avoided them
because the TOS was not server friendly...

It used to by you could get DSL over a dry pair, meaning a line without
phone service connected.  This isn't offered as a primary product
anymore, but maybe some providers still do it.

Russell,
  Are you planning no phone service at all?  You can also get high speed
internet (It's not ADSL, but named RADSL, IIRC) from Cavalier, but I
think you have to get a voice line also.  There are some notes in an
older message here:
http://kevb.net:3000/lurker/message/20030514.173131.260c8048.html .

And you've found http://broadbandreports.com already?  It's a great
place to do internet access searches.
