matty, here is the list of DSL packages that Verizon offers:

Says you can get one month free, next 2 months at 19.95, then rest of year for 29.95 for 3MB up/768k down. Comcast is up to 8MB up/384-768 down.
The biggest thing to remember is that the more people on your block with High Speed Internet from Comcast, the more displaced the signal can become. However, with DSL, it's a dedicated line just for you.
I would go with Verizon or DSL in general for a few months. If you don't like it, you can always switch back to Cable.
Matty - on another note, if you are getting DirecTV, go to this link:

They may be able to get you a decent deal on DSL.
