I live "in the country", so ISDN is the best I've been able to get.  The area 
is serviced by Verizon (was GTE when I started), and they've done pretty well 
with the ISDN.  In fact, you get treated like a business customer instead of 
residential.  There are no usage restrictions.  My only beef with them is they 
have have a 100 hour cap on "free" usage, after that, it's $1 an hour (it was 
unlimited when I started).

OTOH, a small company near here has started doing wireless DSL, with antanae 
on top of water towers.  The tower about 3 miles from me is supposed to get 
its antanae any day now.  Since I should get 384K+ and it'll be $20 a month 
cheaper (total), I'm about to switch.  I have 2 3-Com ISDN OfficeConnect LAN 
modems that have worked well; write me offline if you'd like to work out a 
deal. :-)
