Switched back from cable after having it for one year cable was lots of money and undependable !
I had the 7168kbps down\896kbps up connection for 8yrs the cost was $54.99 per month and I get $5.00 off my phone bill .That makes it 49.99 per month.Ordering was easy ,I did it over the internet,Received modem and installation kit I believe in about a week.I was up and running with in two weeks of order.I chose to buy the dsl modem for around $50.00 instead of renting one for $3.00 a month.I have had Qwest DSL For around eight years if I had rented the modem for $3.00 I would have paid out $252.00 by now so I saved $200.00 by buying the modem. Actiontec gt701-WG.
I have really liked browsing the internet on dsl websites load fast most of the time.
Downloading of large files game patches and demos has been really nice.
Some downsides have been with customer support .When I have contacted them with a problem the people I would give me the runaround if you can find help here on broadband website your better off.maybe someday the isp companies will do better in that area .
I now have the 1500kbps speed and it work good , I will most likely go back to the 7168kbps in the future .
4-6-2009 I now have upgraded back to the 7168 down / 896 up connection ,download speeds is great just would like to see 1-2 or a 5m up load speed , but if I understand things correctly from tech talk it will have to be in a up graded DSL or fiber to home upgraded in service provided by Qwest before that will be posible.
