I started using their DSL service here in New Orleans about 6 weeks ago after seeing ads in the local newspaper. It's $49.95/month. It required no installation in my office. They just sent me the modem and the software, I followed the instructions, and I was soon up and running. One has a choice of using an ethernet card, USB port, or parallel port with their modem. And I get consistent speeds of 400K to 900K DESPITE THE FACT THAT I'M 3.2 MILES FROM THE NEAREST PHONE CENTRAL OFFICE.
It is scheduled to IPO sometime the week starting Monday, March 27.
