<rant> Please define cheap. Oh yeah! I can opt for a 56K (frame relay) circuit for only $250 setup and $350/month plus another $125/month if my local loop is under 10 miles plus ~$500 for the hardware. That's $1225 the first month and $475/month after that. Yeah, Joe Consumer (me) is going to be willing to cough that up for 56K. Typical 768K DSL speeds pumps the cost to $500 setup and $850/month plus the $125 minimum for a local loop. We're into house payment territory now. :) </rant> Just my 2�.

If all they want is the lowest cost provider, I would ponder the following: Cheap, Fast, Good, pick any two. There certainly are alternatives to Cheap, Fast, !Good providers. They may just be Cheap, !Fast, Good, or !Cheap, Fast, Good.
