While some service providers have restrictions on their subscriptions (i.e. having to purchase your local phone service from them as well), it is ILLEGAL for your phone company to deny you DSL service from any other providers in your area, just like it is ILLEGAL for them to deny you local phone service from any other providers in your area.\n\nThere are several DSL providers nationwide (SBC, Verizon, Covad, PacBell (in California), etc.).\n\nA quick search of Yahoo gave the following:\n\nhttp://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Business_to_Business/Communications_and_Networking/Broadband/Digital_Subscriber_Line__DSL_/\n\nHowever, your options as to whom provides DSL in your area may be limited.
