Re: Embarq DSL Pricing
Big thanks to rabeatz!
I called the number they posted on iwantpure.com and the guy on the phone hooked me up with 10MB for $39.99/month
I was told that 3MB was $34.95 and 5MB was $39.99 and they were running a special that if you got 5MB, they would bump it up to 10MB for free.
I'm still a little worried I'm going to get a grossly overinflated bill later on, but I recorded the phone conversation with the rep, and had him clearly spell out what I was paying for, just in case. I Learned this from a friend of mine who upgraded to the iPhone 3G when it came out, and a phone rep told him that his old iPhone could be used just like an iPod Touch after the new phone was activated. That wasn't the case, and he called back and played the recording, and apple allowed him to send back his first gen iPhone and they sent him a shiny new iPod Touch to replace it!
I'll be sure to check back and let everyone know my thoughts on their 10MB service. I can't wait to call the cable company and cancel their service. |

1 edit | From the details of the promotion it looks like you will have that price for at least 12 months.
"After 12-month term commitment ends, the EMBARQ then-current monthly service fee applies." So if the pricing is different 12 months from now - you may see a change.
But hey you got 10mbps for month for $39.99 instead of the 3.0mbps for $39.99 you wanted  |

| Yep. I'm stoked they have 10mbps around here. 
I've been with northland cable for years. Just a week or so ago, I got a flyer in the mail advertising their new "Turbo Power" 6mbps cable internet. They were letting you try it for 2 weeks free, and I don't recall how much more they wanted to charge for it after that. I already dumped their digital cable service in favor of DirecTV and haven't been happier, until now when I can finally get rid of their shotty cable internet. |
