My only advice is to be careful Qwest. I had it for a while (with the MSN) when I tried to switch from MSN to another ISP, they gave me the run around. It took a month to for them to tell me that my phone line wasn't conditioned for it. They said it had never had been, and never would be.... I wonder what I was paying for the year previous... Like they say "A new spirit of service" (They never said if it was a good one or not) Sorry about my little milk carton (I'm not a big fan of them anymore). Just wanted to let you know.

This is available to ordinary customers, not just business customers. Their bandwidth rate is about 1.5 Mb/s download, just under 1 Mb/s upload. The big deal here is that for people like me who have no land line, we can now have a DSL alternative to Crapcast cable. I am thinking seriously about ditching cable modem (even though it is 3 Mb/s download) and switching to this new DSL service. Besides being cheaper and almost as fast, the upload/download rates are much more symmetrial which makes a lot of difference for things like ssh. Are any of you thinking of ditching cable as well for this? I'm interested in hearing any comments the uugers and pluggers have on this.
