I used them for almost a year.  It's $50 plus taxes plus etc. etc. which
ends up around $70 per month, for some sorry speeds (About 64KB/s down
in my experience, and something miserable up).  On the other hand, I run
my own web server and have a static IP address (that was the reason I
got them).  I plan to choke on my laziness and try to set up dynamic DNS
for the first time so I can try Verizon DHCP (assuming they don't block
port 80).  All in all, I don't think Cavtel's base offer was all that
hot since I wasn't using the phone service at all (I have a cel phone).

What was the Speakeasy dry-line price?  It might be worth it since one
wouldn't have to pay all the taxes and "fees" for an unused phone line.
