For my uses, IDSL worked fine. I do believe IDSL is offered by Covad. I ordered my IDSL a long time ago through Megapath. Megapath is a good company to deal with. Just got my powerlink on friday morning.
Downloads speed are good.
Uploads seem to be capped at under 200kbps at all times. I'm not seeing anywhere near the 200ms ping times you are seeing. I typically see anywhere from the mid 70s to high 130s. I have noticed that all traffic is routed throuh Ft. The computer is slow, but doesn't seem to affect ping or downloads running through it.
