    Anyone use E* for high speed internet?

    I just dumped cable for E* and I want to get rid of the cable high speed as well. I know cable can be faster than DSL but I rarely download much more than an occasional song from iTunes, so top speed is not necessary. Does E* just pump AT&T DSL into your house and put it on your Dish bill...
