I recommend DSL Extreme <http://www.dslextreme.com> instead. Their terms
of service are much better than AT&T at the same price, and their help
desk actually knows about Linux. I have posted about them before, you
can search the archives. Here's one post:

The introductory price is only $15/month for the first year.
Looked at the dslextreme.com web site. This generated some questions.
First one: they quote speeds such as 384-1500 kbps down, 128-384 kpbs
up for their standard service. What is the significance of the 1:4 or
1:3 range? Usual rate, exceptional rate on a good day with a
tailwind?
One of their FAQs with answer:
- - - - - - - -
Can I connect more than one computer to my DSL service / Can I use a router?
• Dynamic / Dynamic-1 connections are designed and supported for only
single connection. If a customer would like to install a third party
router they may do so, but this is not supported. The DSL modem that
the customer is using must be configured in bridge mode and the third
party router must support dynamic connections.

Followed by a link to a place on their site for more information,
which results in
"Server Error in '/' Application."
Gus, do you understand this? (not the web page error, but the
third-party router question)
