[Services] DSL and phone bundle

I just got some mass mailing from Earthlink, and looking at the prices, I could save over $15/month vs. Verizon on a phone/DSL bundle.

Questions:
a) what kind of phone service they have? I'm already using VoIP (skype) for all my toll calls.

b) what about their DSL? I currently have 3/768 from VZ, and aside from the DHCP server annoyances, it's very reliable.

TIA

Edit: I checked out their site, and that did answer a few questions, bur the specs of their DSL is not well defined: "up to 1.5 Mbps" -- I assume they don't mean UL...
Is that 1.5/384 or 1.5/128? And is it PPoE? Do they have a news server? (for "text" groups -- I'm not a binary junkie)

It is VoIP using a remote ATA located in the DSLAM also known as LPV (Line Powered Voice) since it still has power (and dial tone) to it even if the house electricity is off.

The bundled DSL is ADSL2+ and if you are close enough then it can supply 8.0/1.0 service.
