 "Seems solid, sync always up so far. Pings decent."
 "Speed varies a bit. Penalty pricing, no promo offers if you don't get POTS.(Higher rate, no cash back for switching, etc)"
 "It's DSL, and it works. Great support here on BBR. IMHO it's expensive for speeds you get."

I'm back on AT&T DSL after a couple years with Cox. I am now using a "Dry-loop" DSL product only, no POTS. This causes no end of fits with AT&T's website.
The process was easy, I tried to use the website to sign up but had to call due to the sans POTS part of the deal.
It was automatic, they shipped me the modem, and they turned on the service.
Support here on BBR is excellent via AT&T Direct.
Something that was annoying: AT&T had been bombarding me to switch to them with offers of cash back, rebates etc. However they refused to provide any for just Internet--- they push DSL with POTS only. (Or U-Verse.) Plus they charged me for the modem I didn't want or need (they insisted, and no rebate) and they charge a penalty price, a higher monthly rate, for daring to NOT want POTS.
Since I was trying to save money, this is annoying. DSL is still cheaper then Cox.... just barely.
I'm also having some issues with speed consistency. Not sure why. Line is always up, which is a whole lot more then I can say for Cox. Pings are decent.
IMHO It's pretty expensive for what you get. AT&T really should consider boosting DSL speeds, especially on the upload side, and shouldn't expect $45+ a month for 6mbps down/640k up. The news that AT&T is testing metered billing, with low, low caps and high, high overage charges is also a big, big minus.
