If the DSL kept going out whenever your phone rings, that usually means you 
aren't using filters.. Had that with a local business.. Embarassing call to 
tech support..

As for VoIP, I'm switching to Vonage to keep my local number when I move. 
Just waiting to see if Qwest will switch me to standalone DSL or just 
disconnect me completely when the LNP is done.

I had really good luck with Mediacom for ~4 years, but switched to DSL
(freese notis) so I could have a fixed IP and servers online. VOIP seems
to be happier with DSL too. The cable modem network apparently has no
UPS anywhere, as it is offline as soon as your house lights dim.

DSL was going offline a lot whenever the phone would ring, but I finally
just canceled the phone service and it works fine now.
