Just FYI, the maximum (theoretical) speed of ADSL (G.dmt) over POTS is 7Mbps down and 800Kbps up; you can probably expect somewhere in the 384Kbps range for upload speed on a 3Mbps line.
That said, and given recent DSL pricing, you should be able to get 3M/384K for somewhere between $30 and $50 per month. Your out-the-door price will probably be better if you *did* get the POTS line, but there might be someone out there that will sell you cheap ADSL minus a dial tone.

Since the list has been quiet for a few days, I'll try and spark up a
discussion about internet service. I'm sure the discussion has
happened before, but a lot of things have probably changed in this
competitive market.
So what ISP do you go with?
I've had Charter cable, which was great for downloading, but crap for
uploading. I'm looking for a DSL service with at least 3.0 Mbps
download, and as much upload as possible. I'd also prefer not to have
a phone line be required (though this may not be possible for DSL
technology). Dynamic IP address is OK.
Any suggestions?
Has anyone had experience with the new AT&T (although it's probably
not much different from the SBC Yahoo! DSL).
