[wplug] Pittsburgh DSL questions

[Steven Leach]

I will be moving to Observatory Hill in Pittsburgh this summer and plan 
on getting a dsl/sdsl connection on which I will be running a Debian 
home email and web server and eventually, most likely, my own DNS 
server.

I've looked at various ISPs, though I haven't been able to get much 
information on quite a few since I do not yet have a phone number and 
therefore cannot verify availability.

What ISP(s) should I consider and/or avoid at all costs?

I will need two static IP addresses and would prefer a minimum uplink 
and downlink speed of 384K (though if I can get a faster connection 
without going broke......)

Libcom's pricing looks good, but also appears to be excessively 
restrictive.   Any and all commercial activities are banned (should 
never be an issue, but who knows?  Their definition seems extremely 
broad and open to harsh interpretation), "servers that generate high 
volumes of traffic and bandwidth allocations for that residential 
circuit for extended periods of time... will result in the immediate 
disconnection of service without refund".   Again, nothing like that 
should ever be an issue but if they ever decide that I am somehow 
violating any of their rules and flip the switch, my email server will 
suddenly be dead in the water... not good.

Any information/opinions/experiences with Libcom or any other DSL 
providers in Pittsburgh?

Anyone know about DSL availability in Observatory Hill?
