Anne,

Here, you can only get DSL with a 1 year service agreement. If you
don't like it, it could be expensive to switch.

Also, you'll have to change your email address unless you use an email

Here in Texas there's also the issue of supporting a company in a
commodity market that is trying to turn it into a monopoly.
