Alternative to Adelphia (timewarner)

Hmm i was just on the verizon DSL site and I dont see a 14.99 plan. Looks like its been upped to 24.95.

My friend is moving into her first apt and doesnt want to pay 45 a month for cable. Should I try to convince her to go for the cable, or will the 24.95 DSL be good enough?
