I can also offer my support to you if you sign up for DSL through Embarq. We certainly won't charge an ETF if the service isn't working. We also offer month-to-month pricing if you don't want to sign a commitment. All the information about our current pricing and promotions are available at EMBARQ.com. You can IM me if you have any questions at anytime.
