I have Telocity (DirecTV DSL) and they have their ups and downs (if you're at all interested in Usenet, don't go that route). If I had it to do all over again, I'd definitely think strongly about Speakeasy. Definitely geek-friendly, and you can get multiple static IP addresses, which is nice.

Oh -- and don't go with Earthlink, unless you really want to give your money to the Co$.
