Re: Great move

This is a complimentary service. The idea is giving dsl customers a mobile option. I don't think Qwest is positioning this as the end all be all of home broadband solutions, but the bundled price is competitive enough that a lot of people will take it as an addition to a bundle package. The usage cap is high enough for use as a secondary service, but obviously not high enough for use as the main internet option. This also makes Qwest the only service provider in their region with a bundle of phone,tv,dsl,wireless, and wireless broadband. I've had my Sprint card in addition to DSL at my house for about a year now, and I've never touched 5GB in a month yet. Obviously this service won't work for everyone, but why not have the option.

Re: Great move

Ok, so if you have their wired broadband you can get the whole 500MB/month for $10 less than you could get unlimited from Sprint. Sign where?

Re: Great move

If I was to add their unlimited plan to what I have now with Qwest I would be paying about $260 (that includes all my taxes) a month for my phone with unlimited local and long distance, 7m/896k dsl, DirecTV with HD/DVR for 3tv's, 2 cell phones on a 500 minute shared plan free nights and weekends, and a wireless broadband card that has a 5GB cap per month. I think that's pretty damn good considering what I used to pay for all this crap. If I went through Sprint for my cell phones and broadband card I would pay about $130 just for the cell phones, so I figure it would save me about $20 a month to do it through Qwest. Granted like I said earlier it works in my situation, but if you need more than 5GB per month then probably not.
