I work at a small Northern Virginia Linux based ISP that is aiming at Business DSL, and we've found that the only problems we generally have are Verizon problems. It takes them forever to go install the circuit at the end user's address. From there, it's painless, and every customer I deal with has been satisfied. Be aware that problems with your DSL provider may be Verizon problems, rather than ISP problems.

I was thinking the same thing... something like aol being big brother should have incited a virtual riot.
