$55.95 a month? Yeah, right.

[sarcasm]

People will be running to get this service.

Depends on how much that telephone line costs you, if it costs $30/mo it's like getting $25/mo DSL.

erm, right now i pay $80.81 for dsl and unlimited long distance phone service. The dsl is only $29.99/mo for 1.5/384. Technically i could downgrade to a $7.00 toll line and still have the 29.99/mo offer. Speakeasy doesn't work with vz anyways.

Yeah, but for Naked DSL? Why would you be paying the use of the telephone line with the DSL if its is being provided without the voice component. Or am I missing something here?

$55.95 a month seems unreasonable to me. Maybe because I only pay $39 for my cable service.

Oh well.

This is a good deal. If your land line costs just over $20 and your DSL is like 30, then thats 50 plus all of the fees and that phone company throws on then it would prob be a bit cheaper.

I recently switched to Speakeasy even though it's twice as expensive as my previous broadband provider (Road Runner).

To me, it's well worth it. It's faster in both directions. It's more reliable. I get four static IP addresses. I can run servers without constantly looking over my shoulder. I can share bandwidth with my neighbors. No ports or protocols are ever blocked. And I get a reasonably clueful support staff when something breaks. After dealing with Road Runner almost since they started, Speakeasy is a breath of fresh air.
