Telocity just got baought out by AT&T or at least part of their backbone did.
Some customers are getting notice of termination of service from around
the Twin Cities area.  
 
To be honest with you, if you need a decent reliable providor for DSL and 
whatnot in the Twin Cities area your best bets are companies like

Qwest (I have installed well over 30+ setups with them, yeah they are a pain 
in the ass but once they work they work. And I have a personal contact at 
headquarters who can make things happen for me.  So I'm biased towards them)

Visi - So far I have had no problem with them at all.  They will drop now and
again but most of my clients are happy with them  (I have done probably 12+ 
setups with visi)

ISD (Another smaller local company, who for the most part is pretty solid)

Megapath - See Telocity

Bitstream - I have only done 3 setups with Bitstream.  A few config problems 
here and there but no downtime as of yet.

RoadRunner is just starting to offer a business clas Cable service.  I don't 
think it is availiable in residential area's (Unless you twist some arms)
