I've been a very happy netcarrier dial-up user.  But their DSL quotes
where higher than the $50 price I expected, plus they offer a dsl modem
in the range of several hundred dollars.  I wanted to go with them for
DSL, because they provide excellent service, but couldn't justify the
startup costs.

I suspect they are focusing on business customers, because my last
request for a DSL quote went unanswered.
