So Speakeasy just got bought out by Best Buy. Ewwww! I'm not changing
immediately, but I'd like some current recommendations for broadband
choices in the SF Bay Area. We prefer non-cable but are willing to
consider anything reliable at this point (we currently do not have a
cable hookup).

I'm not sure if "broadband" is the same as DSL, if you're not talking about cable, but I've always been happy with Sonic.net (DSL). If he doesn't need a static IP address, it's pretty cheap.

I use Sonic.net also, and in my experience they definitely have very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, responsive tech people.

"Broadband" means wide spectrum, so faster than dial-up. It includes cable, DSL, some satellite companies, and in my city, over the power lines.

This is what I've always thought, but I've also heard people say "No, I don't have DSL, I have broadband," which may mean they don't know what they're talking about. But then, neither do I, so it just left a bit confused about the terminology. Thanks...
