I've heard of them all. I believe onfiber is the most reputable. I'm not sure about exact pricing though.

Never heard of Covista. They look like a very small player.
OnFiber owns MANs (local transport). Acquired Telseon's assets.
El Paso and Dynergy are both very large energy companies. It is very common for companies such as these to lay thousands of miles of fiber along their pipelines. Williams being the most well known for this.
Dynegy's communications division is/was in financial trouble. I know that they were forced to cease operations overseas. Dynegy's focus was on selling PTP connections from one Metro Market to another. Pricing was good.
El Paso seems to offer the same type of service. Not sure about their current state. In know that their largest pipeline inexplicably blow up a few years ago and killed serveral people.
You would use these companies for local or long haul transport not for dedicated access to the Internet.
