DSL is always on so you never have to dial up.

That I knew.

Your right, a local ISP will support your internet connection. The thing to keep in mind is that once you implement your DSL connection to your ISP you are locked into that connection (unless you change providers) and cannot use your DSL modem to dial up other services.

The point I tried to make is that the DSL connection is to my RBOC CO and from there it goes to an ISP of my limited and switchable choice, however I'm stuck with Bell Atlantic. If the connection is reliable, I'm less than 3/4 mile to the CO, I don't care about the Bell Atlantic part too much, after all I pick up my phone and always get a dial tone. ;)
