I orderd 1.5mb. The monthly price as advertised was 21.99. I got a 2wire modem. It's a sweet modem with the wireless built in. Also available for down load is Spyware and Mcafee virus protection which saved my computer. There hasn't been any problems what so ever. If 7.0mb was available I would probably use that over cable from my experiance(tech) As cable Is almost never full speed and is half the time about 2.5-5mb actually when advertised as up to 12mb. Cable is awesome when not congested? and not down? Also my girlfriend(not really into computers)handled the hole ordering setup process. So it is a pretty easy package/setup. I'm noticing some high latency which may not work to well with xbox live. we'll see. well just hooked up my xbox360 live just pluged the ethernet into modem and has worked great even with some high latency just a couple of laggs. Only bad thing with 1.2mb dwn load speeds is a 40min wait for a 912mb file. But at 56k 912mb is about a week or so! If your lucky so I would say 1.2mb is highspeed!
well my first storm related power outage. the tech I talked 2 was very nice. and sent me over to billing which inturn gave me a 10dollar credit for 1days outage. my internet alone is 20 amonth. I was happy with (my lines) 20 a month is a good deal for my speeds, and I'm happy with the consistancy.
Still working flawlessly except for gaming on the weekends I suspect either the rooms or servers are full? because it's seems that it drops games mostly on the weekends. Also qwest has given me the choice of buying my sweet 2wire modem with built in wireless that has had no problems thus far.
