You do realize that not everyone will get that speed, as it depends on how close you are to the CO.
Post back with some speed tests after you are up and running. You wouldn't be the first person to sign a contract with DSL and get stuck with a year of sh*tty speed.

I've got comcast, and I hope they have more DNS outages. When that happened there was ZERO traffic, and since i run my own dns, I had full use of my conneciton and pigns were like <10 to any server.

comcast internet without comcast cable teevee = $57.95 per month in NJ.
I am anxiously awaiting FIOS in my area.
Comcast subscribers automatically will be upgraded to 6 Mbps for free, so long as they also are cable customers. Those who want to get the fastest connection will have to pay $10 more a month

I've been very happy with Comcast but this was an absolute no brainer. I even called Comcast retention department to explain what Verizon offered, but they simply could not match at all. I actually used work at Comcast as a CSR which made me very pro-Comcast, but this deal is simply irresistable.
Comcast Cable
4 mb down / 384 kb up
$42.95 a month
I had to buy my own modem, otherwise +$3 a month for lease.
Verizon DSL
3 mb down / 768 kb up
$29.95 a month + additional $10 off for first three months
Absolutely no cost and hassle for me to switch
Free Modem/Wireless router for me to keep after one year.
No activation charge, no set up fee
No charge on shipping above router
No truckroll or in-house appointment, they simply turn it on through my phoneline. (I hated Comcast's truckrolls and workers coming in my house with dirty shoes & making a mess everywhere.)
How can Comcast compete with this?!?
