Not seeing why you think this is such a bad deal. Better than BellSouth DSL and you'll actually get the speed you're paying for.
It seems rather insane that we all accept the concept of NOT getting what you pay for with broadband. Shouldn't we actually expect to get what we pay for? I mean you don't buy "up to a gallon" of gas or up to a month's worth of rent when you use those services... Just craziness.
I don't accept it...look around and you'll see my complaints about Qwest with the 85% rule. Cable, some DSL providers and WiMAX all have overprovisiooning so you get what you pay for
