| Beats Qwest
I think it'd be awesome to have VZ DSL here rather than Qwest. Why? 'cuz we have two tiers of dry-line service available:
1.5/896 - $40
5/896 - $47
No overprovisioning so you get at most 85% of the rated speed.
Verizon?
1/384 - At most $26
3/768 - At most $34
7/768 - Around $44
Heck, if they offered FastPath here I might be persuaded to switch from Comcast. It'd cost me $20 less per month than Comcast for only slightly slower downloads (uploads would take a hit though) and no caps...
Instead, I'm stuck with Qwest if I want DSL, Comcast if I want cable (aka something-faster-than-ADSL). All I can say is "meh". |

| You hit the nail on the head.
Verizon and ATT are much more competitive with their pricing structures, unlike Qwest. I truly don't understand why Qwest does not do more to be competitive in their respective markets (especially the large markets such as Phoenix, Denver, Minneapolis).
Personally, VZ's 3/768 would be very tempting. Great price, decent speeds, and lower latency when compared to Qwest. At least VZ offers you the chance to be placed on a fastpath profile, whereas Qwest is firmly against it. |
