Remember, you don't have to get your feed from gte.net.  Cyberramp is also
offereing ADSL via GTE lines at about 50% off gte's rates.  There are also a
handful of other ISP's offereing ADSL service.  I'm still waiting on my CO
in Lewisville to be ADSL ready (been pushed back again to mid-Jan 1999) but
have been checking around for service.
