Did US West mention a number? (Just bookmarked this interesting topic after glancing at it occasionally for months.) I've had USWest ADSL for 5 months and they're still charging "early adapter" rates on their service. It will be interesting to see how soon they lower rates and if AOL's ever-so-slow embrace of DSL affects that. Their current pricing is here: interprise.com But the $40 charge for ADSL is a bit misleading because it only pays for the line. You still need an ISP, of course. Here in Washington (and, apparently elsewhere), USWest is required to open their lines to any ISP that connects to them, so you have a choice, but I decided to go with USWest's own service which costs an additional $20/month. There's a list of ISPs offering USWest DSL here: uswest.com When I signed up, activation was free and I got the Cisco 675 router (DSL modem) and 3Com net card for free. Installation would also have been free, but I decided to do that myself (a fairly simple process) instead of wait for someone to show up at my place. One nice thing about USWest's service: They automatically supply multiple IP addresses, so all that's required to set up a little home network is to plug the ADSL router into a net hub and connect each PC into that. I've had my main NT machine running on the net at the same time as a Mac and a Linux or Win95 machine. (However, they don't officially support such a configuration, so don't expect to get any questions answered about it from their help desk.)
