Recently I got DSL from Verizon for $14.99 per month. After cancelling dialup and a second phone line. I came out ahead.

It was not just an introductory price but a forever price.

Installation was easy. The modem has an HTML interface that you address whit http://xxx.xxx.xxx.

I used the install CD they sent but when I got to the part where it said I need to install somee software, I stopped, called up support and demanded to know what the software was and what it did. They would not say except that it was necessary. I persisted until I got to a guy in India who could speak decent English. He stepped me through setting up a user name and password that reside in the modem without installing any software

The "necessary" software is spyware and toolbars from Google or Yahoo.
