"Batter Up for Broadband" states that "there's no dial tone, and your connection to an ISP or corporate network is hard-wired, so you won't be able to change service providers without having changes made at the phone company's CO."
This is not strictly true. Pulsecom's current ADSL product allows a user to select -- using an embedded Web interface -- from any number of service providers, all of which are connected at the CO via the service-access multiplexer. Individual PPP sessions are established for each user to the current service provider. Should a user wish to change his or her provider, it's just a mouse-click away.
