I online chatted with James Moore at Speakeasy.
Their VoIP service is $24/month vs about $9 per month for many. I was ready
to sign up anyway since they could use my existing phone number, but in
addition, you have to pay $55 for their DSL service. They won't run it on
my existing DSL service.
I will keep looking.
