 "It works and is fast as advertised"
 "Took 3 days to get the modem, another 3 days for it to work"
 "It works, its cheap and I didn't even need to buy a phone line"

Order the 6/512 package 17 July. Operator said modem would arrive on 21 July. Hooked it up 21 July and nothing. 2 Tech Support calls later and a tech visit got it up and running. Ping times are good and multiple speed test show me getting what was advertised. Also I didn't have to pay for a phone line that I wouldn't use and not be penalized for it (comcast sucks). It's a little slower than my parents Comcast internet but this one seems more reliable during the busy parts of the day. The motorola modem provided is tiny compared to my parents cable modem but I had to pay $75 for it since I got the DSL w/o phone line. Overall it was a pleasurable experience.
Update 18 AUG 2009:
Well I got the little message to update my ISP internet experience. What can I say, it still works, still slower than some of my neighbor's ISP's (comcast) but I still have good latency less than 30 to ATL and 80 to west coast, hasn't been down when I wanted to get on at all and again not being penalized for not having a cable or phone line (ok maybe a little but not as bad as the cable company.) Overall I have had a good experience with AT&T and no slowdowns during peak periods and hope to hop onboard their Uverse offerings when they make it my way.
EDIT
I guess I should add seeing some other reviews I have seen that I can throw a rock from my apartment and hit the DSLAM.
