I checked
www.telocity.com, and was redirected to its new name of DirecTV DSL. I entered my address and phone there, and got a "Sorry, no can do" response.
That's three no's and a yes, and the yes was Earthlink.
As for Digital Cable, I considered that and turned it down flat. I looked at what Comcast offered beyond the Basic/Standard package, and saw no more than three or four channels I'd have the least bit of interest in (the Cartoon Network, Game Show Network, BBC America, maybe Sci-Fi or some of the Discovery offshoots). For an extra $15 or so per month, that's just not worth it to me.
Heck, as it stands right now, I only watch a handful of the ones I already have. Comedy Central, the Weather Channel and the basic UHF/VHF channels are the only ones I can honestly say I watch more than once or twice a week, unless something catches my eye when channel-flipping or there's something going on in sports.
(I just looked up the channel listings on comcast.com, and it appears that Cartoon, Game Show and Sci-Fi (among others) were recently added to the Basic lineup. If so, that's even less reason for me to upgrade -- other than BBC America, the only thing I'd want it for would be ordering PPVs, and I can go down to the Stadium Grille to get my PPV wrestling fixes.)
