Tim,

Speed is NOT everything. Ten ISPs connecting at the same baud rate will give you 10 different performance levels. You need to know how often you hit dead zones (I never do, even at 28.8 with my Sprint connection). These are generated by how many users have to share the the same modems, the quality of switching equipment and sometimes your phone line. If you can't listen to clean music on a 28.8 through a Real Player connection, your ISP is not performing well.

IBM has a good rep but may be selling their Internet service from what I've read recently.
