Here's a list of some providers I know about that offer, or will offer, high speed Internet to home users in Lexington. This is far from an exhaustive list. I have given up on listing most DSL ISPs; my list was too incomplete to be useful. To find a DSL ISP, check with broadbandreports.com or check the LEC's ISP partner pages.
These numbers are very possibly out-of-date. Before you make any decisions, please check with the providers. I've provided some links that should help.
