There is a major difference between Veracity and XMission.  The latter 
is a quality ISP with great people and technology and a solid support 
structure for the savvy technologist and the average user alike.  The 
former, well, they have mixed reviews in my book. >.>

As for Draper, they are not a Utopia pledged city, but that may or may 
not mean anything.  I'm sure if you can get DSL, you can get it through 
XMIssion over whoever owns the copper (as a bonus, they are very 
affordable and you can get a /29 subnet pretty easily if that's your 
thing, like it is mine).  Comcast will likely provide the cable internet 
service.  I am not aware of any city ISPs like Provo or Spanish Fork, 
etc, has, so that's probably your options right there.

There's the extent of my knowledge on the subject. =c)
