My DSL provider in Arizona is Qwest. The basic service is $26 and forLori Barfield wrote:

I know that those speeds look funny to people from Europe and Japan but
ISP providers in U. S. are monopolies thanks to the president Bush. A
decent speed of 10-100Mps on T1 will cost you about $1400 a month.
Qwest's modem blocks by default www hosting, MTA, and most other
services. However it is trivial to log into the modem and unblock the
ports. Qwest actually actively encourage customers to have fixed IP
addresses for purpose of online gaming and conference hosting.
I did run my own MTA with the proper domain name that can be purchased
for about $10 a year. I had no problems receiving incoming mail and
mixed success with sending mail. I did that because I wanted to learn a
few things.
My real MTA is at the University I work for and I fetch my mail via IMAP
server to my local mail client as probably most people do.
I would suggest that before you make definitive decision to run your own
MTA you try to do dynamic mail hosting. I used free DynDNS services
provided by DynDNS.com. The way that it works is that they run a honest
MTA which does virtual hosting for many servers which do have only
dynamic IP address.
This is usually extra service you get from them as their main thing is
virtual web hosting. Basic web and mail
virtual hosting is free but their real objective is to get you sign for
their paid services.
Their MTA is completely legit and on the white list so your outgoing
mail will never bounce. The big draw back in my eyes is that you must
run something like opendd which is DynDNS client in order to update
their server about your current IP address.
The positive thing is that they will run spamassassin and clamav for you.
