When Telocity --> DirectTV DSL was about to die, I checked reviews on  
Broadband Reports, and selected Speakeasy. I've been quite happy with  
them. A while back, they were encoraging subscribers to set up their own  
wireless access points, no extra charge. They also said it would be OK to  
charge w.a.p. users for use of the a.p. -- I cite that to support their  
geek-friendly attitude (i.e., a good attitude).

Their VoIP was one of the first to have proper 911 geographical  
coordination.

(A little apology -- I replied also to DSR off-list.)
