I would go with an alternative all the way, except for the fact I'm too
far from the local switch (by around 600-700 feet, and USWest still
refuses to try it).. I do like getting 384k both directions with Onvoy 
(not as advertised :) for $60/mo including the phone line and internet
service.. that pricing really isn't THAT horrible, when you consider you
pay $20 (or $30 for decent service) above your phone bill with USWest,
plus internet service..
