Glad to hear they're off your list.

I had this conversation with Bellsouth when atlnet went toes up.  They 
really stick it to you, because you:

pay extra for static ip
static ip is only available on a business line

So, you pay $90+ for dsl with static and then your phone bill is nearly 
doubled, inspite of the fact the usage will be no different.

I'll say it again, they are the local monopoly, go elsewhere.
