I doubt it will happen. What Bellsouth is offering is ADSL which means
they have a CoLo within a set number of feet from your house. What you are
getting from Speakeasy is IDSL. It is basically ISDN service which does
not have the length restriction that SDSL and ADSL have due to the fact
that it runs over digital phone line (simplistic definition). So they're
different technologies and are incompatable. I would think that the
Bellsouth would be less expensive eve with the phone service.
