<description><![CDATA[gworkman7 posted : I signed on last year.  I use DirecTV.  If I wanted to use a similar service via Cox, I would pay $20.00/month more.  I'm at 6/768 for $34.99.  Through Cox, I'd pay $54.95/month for 7/512 and would have to live with their blocking of whatever ports they choose.  The only event that would make me drop Qwest is if I move and couldn't get their service.  That issue is covered under the contract.  Service in my area has been outstanding.  I had an issue when I first signed up.  Tech was here within 4 hours, cleaned up the wiring mess outside and I haven't had a problem since.<br><br>Who knows what advances may happen, but 2 years is nothing.  Some of my clients are still stuck at 1.5/384 which they've had since '99 because of the distance to the C/O.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[dynodb posted : The benefit for the consumer is that they get 1.5M for $27/month or the "up to" 7M for $37/month with no price increase after the end of the contract.<br><br>The benefit for Qwest is that they're likely to keep that customer (and their POTS service) for 2 years.  <br><br>It boils down to this- if you think you might want to switch providers in under 2 years, don't take the deal.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[openbox9 posted : If the service doesn't require installation or expensive equipment or include a SLA, contracts usually don't benefit the customer. Of course Qwest/Comcast are going to lock in consumers if they can...so would just about every other service-based business in existence.]]></description>
