We go through Speakeasy too, and have suffered minimal problems (other than the typical long setup times when changing addresses -- they're still dependent on Verizon at the core). Intelligent technical staff, sane usage policies, etc.
We've got a 1.5 down, 384 up plan for $55 a month, I think. They also explicitly allow a lot of things that most others don't -- sharing your wireless, talking directly to smtp so you can run a mail host from your local server, etc. And they'll even set up reverse DNS for you, which I kind of like (though I didn't bother to set up 'commune.crschmidt.net' again after we moved and our IP changed).
In general, I'd highly recommend speakeasy for anyone vaguely technical -- but you may pay a price. In addition to our $55 or whatever for speakeasy, we pay $65 for the lowest package of Cable TV that isn't just public access, so we're paying $100+ total -- I don't know how much you're paying now, but it feels like a lot to me.
