I hate AT&T/sbcglobal

[Prudence]

Hey - I need to pick an internet provider for Torrance and I don't know whether to go cable or DSL. The place is wired with TimeWarner cable stuff, but I've heard not so good things about their internet service. I wasn't necessarily planning to get a land line phone - would I need that for DSL? I am clueless.

You don't need a landline phone for DSL anymore. AT&T is required to sell "bare" dry-loop DSL as part of the conditions they agreed to when they bought BellSouth. BTD has it. Other companies also sell dry-loop DSL (I have it through Speakeasy, see above).
