It depends on who you choose and where you are.
The company I worked for prior to this one got ADSL in Houston (with SWB)
and New York (with UUnet), and it has been working as their WAN for more
than a year now without any problems.
Before I made that change, we had a Frame Relay connection with MCI/WorldCOM
that went down for a whole day every 1.5 months in avarage.
No matter what you choose, you can never be sure. So, if you have a mission
critical WAN over anything, it would be a good idea to implement a backup
solution.
My $.02,

Subject: Re: WAN Backbone over DSL?
Hi
Being a DSL provider and working day to day with QWest/USWest, I can tell
you do NOT want to run a mission critical WAN network over DSL. I have had
outages on VC/VPs lasting days... Don't do it.
