OP
Well I have had DSL for a year and a half now paying 110.00 a mont h for ISP and the dedicated line. I am really jazzed with ADSL. I did not load PPP/OE on my W2K machine I bought a Linksys DSL/Router and it is ready for the PPP/OE protocal. I have up to 5 machines hooking at times. The ADSL modem is fast and I have not been bumped from the connection as of yet.

How far away are you from the telephonecentral? I am about 10000 feet away, and cannot get the service until a bit later and probably at a lower speed.
Is this really true, or just marketing monkeying? According to
http://www.adsl.com/adsl_tutorial.html
it is theoretically possible with 6.1Mbit/s, so then 384kbit/s (as I can afford) should work right?

I live exactly 16000 feet away from my CO.
I get speeds of 1204/300kbps(bits) and pay 40 a month... I'm with bellsouth.net and had some problems at first. As soon as they switched me on another Phone circit, I havent been down in 6 months.

I LOVE THIS SH*T!
My school has a deal with Covad, so my fraternity house [a bunch of engineers] gets 768kbps sDSL for $86.50/mo.
Granted, we all share it, but the only time we're all on is when we start a huge deathmatch. I've had my own D/Ls clocked at 606kbps! [according to WMP]

Now, as soon as wetware goes mainstream, the assimilation can begin...

Okay, I have 7680kps/1024kps and pay $1495/yr / $199 Setup
It rocks!!!
It rocks!!!
viper? what service is that? Sprint ION? how far are you from the CO?
ONE MEGABYTE downstream is incredible, oh my god. At school we had 256kbyte downstream/upstream but you beat that with four times as much!
I guess it's some kind of VDSL, and you live less than 6000 feet from the central?
OpticFreeze,
How far are you away now that they changed Phone circuit?
