For DSL and Cable both, ask for the current phone number of the house when you 
get to a point where you've found something interesting enough to pursue and 
then go put that phone number in the locators for both types of service and 
see if they think you have service at that location.

I wholeheartedly recommend Front Range Internet (www.frii.net) if you go with 
DSL.  Extremely clueful admins, and they're the best ISP I've ever seen about 
outage notifications via e-mail... no other ISP I've ever had told me about 
every single little network problem like these guys do, and I like the 
transparency very much.
