I have to admit up front that I've just canceled my Spiritone/Aracnet 768/128 DSL account after using it for about ten years. I felt a little guilty about canceling after good service for such a long time, but even the technical support guy who answered the phone when I called them said that "I've got to do what I've got to do" (which was to go to FiOS which blows most anybody's DSL away).
Although I never had to, it was reassuring that I could have driven down to their offices to complain about something if I had to and that if I called them I was calling someone local -- not someone half way around the world.
Technically speaking they aren't a DSL provider, they're an ISP, the ISP that the DSL link connects to (Verizon is the central-office and copper owner, although that copper is now decommissioned due to our FiOS installation).
But, if one wants DSL I can heartily recommend them for the ten years of good service that we had from them. That's mostly what I have to say. Oh, and I didn't mind the static IP that I had with them, unlike the DHCP'd address I get with FiOS now.
