How can they prevent you (one) from switching ISPs? I'm with Verizon for
local service and DSL at the minute, and the Cavalier price quoted was
attractive to me too.

More generally, who actually runs the "last mile" in Philly -- the wire
to my house? I had thought it was Verizon and hence I'd have to have at
least their very basic budget phone service in order to have DSL with
anyone, but Cavalier claim to offer local phone service too, so how does
that work?

I admit I haven't called Cavlier to ask them this question...
