Re: Verifying QWest DSL speed before signing up?

I've emailed QWest 2x so far asking for information on how I can get confirmation of their ability to deliver something near 7mb (2mb isn't close enough). No response yet.

I expect they will just say I can cancel in 30 days if I don't like it. Of course that means that I would need to keep (and pay for) both cable and dsl.

Maybe it's worth a call to Comcast and explain what I'm contemplating to see if they will cut my internet bill ($54 currently).

I just ran speedtest.net using a local access pt. My down speed came back at 20.38 and my up speed shows 6.18.

You'll probably pay for both for a while anyway--unless you're planning on going without Internet for a while. I believe Comcast prorates your bill when you start and end service. A couple days won't hurt. If the DSL does what you want, just drop off the cable modem at the Comcast office the next day. If it doesn't, return the DSL modem and get a refund.
