What is currently the best deal going for broadband access?

My situation is that I live in a neighborhood where DSL is available,
so I could take advantage of the $15/mo DSL special, but I currently
have no home phone.  Cost of phone service would have to be added to
DSL cost, so I'm wondering how that compares with getting cable or
satellite service (and whatever other options may be out there).

Before I had the home phone taken out, it seems like the minimum bill
was on the order of $28.  I have heard rumors that it is possible to
get a dedicated line for DSL at lower cost than phone service - if
true, how do you get it?  The folks at Yahoo DSL are clueless - their
first question when I call to inquire about DSL is "what is your phone
number?".  When I tell them I don't have a phone yet, they tell me to
call back after I get one. 

thanks, 

Martin
