$100/mo for 144K/144K IDSL from Zyan/Northpoint.  It's expensive but the
service is absolutely top notch, and being 10 miles from my CO nobody else
would even try.  Work is paying for it so I went for service and
reliability over price.

The Northpoint tech was terrific at installation (even pulled some extra
pairs for no charge to my computer area) and knock on wood, I've had no
problems whatsoever with them or Zyan for the last 4 months barring when
Zyan's news feed (ispnews.com) goes down.

Still, if I stay here for a while and can get a few neighbors in on it, I
might spring for a DS1 and trench cat5 to all the nearby houses.
