"MCI or Earthlink DSL" which one would you pick and why?
I am having a very hard time at making a decision on picking a DSL carrier.

What are the pro's and con's of each company and if anyone has experience with either one can you please tell me if you like it or not.

1. I've had Earthlink DSL as a back-up to Road-Runner DSL for many years
They're both very reliable.

2. I've got earthlink and it works fine although I've heard they just
outsourced to India.

If this is true, I should probably drop them. But I don't know who else to go with

3. earthlink's dsl
is basically just a fancy overlay for your phone company's dsl service in most cases. in my case i use earthlink dsl but it goes through sbc's dsl service and is a bit of a hassle sometimes because of that.. they sort of act as a middleman...
