I just need a phone line to allow me to receive DSL signal for my $19.99/mo internet service. Comcast can never beat this internet pricing LONG-TERM. That is, more than the 6- or 12-month trial period where Comcast offers its lower prices.
AT&T's local charges are starting to creep up almost every month in 2007. Imagine paying about $10/month just for taxes and surcharges (that's $120/yr) even if my phone line doesn't even have long distance.
I also looked at Vonage but it's a catch 22:
Vonage needs internet
My DSL internet (non-Comcast because it's cheaper by half: $20 vs Comcast's more than $50/mo) needs a phone line
Therefore, for me to use Vonage I stil have to pay for my phone line.

Unfortunately in the bay area, those are the service providers. The good news is that AT&T is starting to experiment offering "naked DSL," or DSL without requiring a standard phone line. See the article I've linked to below.
Try calling AT&T up and see if they'll sell you just the DSL line like they are doing in those trial cities.
