One caveat to the whole discussion.... I live in Broomfield and neither is
available. @Home keeps promising to have it up by the end of the year
(they said this last year) and ant attemp to get DSL through any carrier
will get a message back from Quest (USWest): Insufficient facilities at
central office. No plans to expand at this time. Cancel order.

I've been fighting for 2 years to get some form of broadband for <$100/mo.
At this point Ive been using ISDN for about 6 months.

Hope you have better luck!
