If DSL is available for you, I'll add an enthusiastic "go for it" to the mix. I've set up several of the AT&T ones, if you sign up online, you get free wireless router and the $14.99/month rate. But dslextreme.com seems a good deal as well. I wouldn't bother with the higher speed DSL for home use, unless you download tons of ISOs. The difference of always on and the speed will take care of you well, and if not, upgrading to the faster one is simple once things are installed.
