    this is so much better than ne thing that is out right now, and the good thing is that the middle package is like the price for comcast cable internet right now, i will switch from comcast to this right away... too bad it's not available in my area yet :P

    Looks too good to be true. But question is, where in the US are they all based and, are they reliable?

    They can promise all they want, but the speed of DSL is mainly based on how far from the central office you are... 15000-18000 ft is the cutoff points. Not very far is it? 5280 ft = 1 mile.
