Saw this on Yahoo the other day, but no mention of a supplier:

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Ameritech said today it is launching a
high-speed Internet access service and has formed a partnership
with Microsoft to make the service easier to install. Ameritech's high-speed service uses Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line technology, which allows customers to connect to the Internet at speeds up to 50 times faster than standard telephone line and modem. ADSL technology uses existing copper telephone wiring already in homes and businesses. Ameritech plans to make the service available to seven of 10 customers in the next three years. The service will cost $59.95 a month, which includes an ADSL line and unlimited Internet access, plus a one-time $150 installation charge. Through 1998, Ameritech is offering memberships at $49.95 a month and is waiving the cost of the modem. The service will allow users to download materials from the Internet at speeds of up to 1.5 megabits per second and send materials at speeds up to 128 kilobits per second. Ameritech and Microsoft are working with hardware
manufacturers to make their personal computers and equipment
ADSL compatible. Ameritech provides communications services including local and long distance telephone, cellular, paging, security
monitoring, cable TV, electronic commerce and on-line services.
