[Geek Question] Home ISP's

Ok I'm now looking into what the available home ISP options are, and I'm wondering what other peoples experiences and suggestions are?

I have thought about both AT&T Broadband, and RCN, but have heard both have issues (AT&T's new merger and their filtering of ports, and I heard RCN was very pushy wanting to get all of your home services)

Wow, This gives me a little more respect for our state

One state appeals Microsoft deal

Massachusetts, apparently going it alone, said DOJ settlement does not go far enough.

Hmmm, maybe the next step should be that our State Government adopts OSS (Open Source Software) since we are the home state of the FSF (Free Software Foundation)
