Re: Sharedband -> Qwest mini-Review

said by toby:

Total monthly costs for 3MBps/1.8Mbps for me is $35 DSL1 (includes POTs discount) + $40 DSL2 (dry, first 6 months 10 less) + $25 Shareband, = $100.
Could be better, but unlikely to ever get any better with rural Qwest.

This is the part that cracks me up. You're willing to pay an extra $65 a month (more than doubling your prior monthly expense) to double your speeds to a whopping 3MB! I might be willing to do the same (and I suspect there are many more like us). But to do that, we have to go through a third party company who needs to tie up another pair of Qwest's wires (and thereby increase sources of failure in the connection) and cobble together some bonding scheme. But Qwest will never see the revenue opportunities presented by such users.
