Sonic.net provides their "Fusion DSL" service in LA through resellers. It's worth to check if you are in the service area at http://www.dslextreme.com/ . I ended up signing up through another company, Omsoft, because they were very down to earth.
Yeah, the advertised throughput is a bit slower being ADSL2+, especially on the upload (although you can bond two channels for a simple twice the cost. and if you really need upload, inquire to see if they've got "Annex M" support yet). But it's fast enough, very predictable, and you won't be giving your money to assholes.
Also FWIW, Speakeasy is also still around, they've just renamed to Megapath and raised their rates a bit.
