Anybody know anything about Qwest? I have their DSL and pay 29.95 + fees. Total is about $34. Couldn’t tell you what speed or what type of modem I have. But web pages load nearly as fast as with a cable connection. I’ve always been happy with it.

If you call Bellsouth and say you’re thinking of leaving, they will give you the new price plus 6 months at $17.95.

I’m a bellsouth customer, too, and I called to make sure they were applying the discount (I am an Ultra). They told me it had already been applied and I was being retroactively discounted for the 2 weeks after the rate drop. My next bill was really low- I don’t think my phone call sparked the discount, but who knows?

man $10 off is awesome.

I really would consider DSL but its not available in my area at all.. so expensive cable it is. even though its ridiculously fast (I get 5-6 MBPS, TimeWarner Road Runner recently upped it)

the thing about DSL is.. I really hate those Westell DSL modem/router that Verzion and Bellsouth sends out.

my gf kept requesting a regular modem without any router function, but they kept sending the Westell one anyway.

sheesh!
