DSL Provider Recommendations

I'm just down the road in Topeka, and in the process of moving my ADSL
service, which is currently with SWBT.  Apparently, I can't simply transfer
the DSL line, it has to be completely re-provisioned (ie a new order from
the ground up), so I'm considering switching to SDSL.

The two providers I've found so far are Birch Telecom, and DSL.net.  Does
anyone have experience with either of these providers?  I realize their
service in Topeka won't be exactly the same as in KC, but it should be
generally similar (I'll likely be a couple hops farther from the 'net than
anyone in KC).

I'm running a website devoted to LRP (a tiny floppy-based firewall...see
links below) that typically uploads around 7 Gig a month over my current
128K ADSL uplink, so even slow SDSL would be an improvement.

Thanks in advance,
