My mom was on Sonic for a year but recently switched to AT&T/Yahoo due
to price.  These ISPs that offer DSL are really just reselling the
AT&T service, so there's no way they can compete on price.  We'll have
to wait and see how good the service and uptime are with AT&T but thus
far we have no cause to complain...
