Steve, DSL itself is very reliable - at least in Canada. The internet is a different story. We chose to go with a managed WAN service from our Telco. It gives us a 4Mbs DSL connection between sites, at about 1/2 the price of frame relay. The connection is monitored 24/7, and we haven't had any unscheduled downtime since it was installed about 18 months ago. We don't have to mess with a VPN because it's not going over the internet. On the other hand, I've read a lot of negative things about DSL service in the U.S., so it might not be a viable option down there.
