Verizon DLS
Down 1.5mbps
Up 768kbps

Im currently maxed out on my speed for where I live and am waiting until I can upgrade to 3mbps. The best part is no matter high I up the speed to it will always be 30$ per month.

I work for a DSL provider so I use cable. Knowledge makes you warry. Of course if I worked for cable I'd prolly not want to use it either, I've just have very few problems (2) with my cable in four years and fix DSL and windows all day long, so I'm biased.
