On a sidenote, I wonder if CSolutions, Xmission, or somebody else would consider offering a discounted rate to groups like the UUG, PLUG, et al since most of the people in those groups aren't going to waste their time by calling for help with their email client settings.

I just switched to this when I moved back to Utah. (woo-hoo! No more Texas! That's another thread/story/etc.) I used a cable modem when I lived in Provo before. I hated it because cable is shared. I had to stay up until midnight or later to get some decent bandwidth. I haven't had any complaints with this new Qwest DSL line so far. I'm using CSolutions as my ISP and they are awesome.

Starting today, Qwest is offering their naked DSL service for $28 per
month + $7 for the basic qwest.net ISP service (no MSN). 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.
