I was on BellSouth DSL from Oct '99 untill Dec 02, we moved now and I'm a little too far for DSL service.

It was a very stable connection, at first there were problems with down time but BS got their act together fast and since early 2000 up untill we left I've had not more than 2-3 major outages.
My speeds were up to 154KB/sec and 14000ft from the Central Office.
I lived near Pompano beach, FL and was routed thru Miami though, because I got the DSL as they were just doing the big rollouts.

The only drawback is you have to have the complete choice bullshit, unless you use it of course. If they do like Verizon and give out DSL for $34.95/$29.95 with Complete Choice, I might switch

If you decide to go with DSL, don't get the USB modem it tends to be flaky with WindowsXP, Ethernet is much better
