yeah right.

New customers only? Sounds like a marketing scheme to do one thing- boost its subscriber base and lock them into a 1 year contract...

I bet after that year is up they will be bumped down to 1.5/256.

Quote from the advertisment:
Offer good only on new DSL circuit orders. Telephone lines with existing DSL service will not be able to take advantage of the special one-year introductory price.

So not just new customers but new DSL customers period.

Very interesting that it has signficantly different restrictions from DSLExtreme's offer. Still needs more clarification, though - could one cancel, and then order to get that promo?

There will be no speed changes to the loop, but after the year, the price reverts to the "then current month to month rate", which is currently set to $69.95.

I can't imagine an ISP throttling down speed - we certainly wouldn't do that.

BTW, we're not limiting this to new customers - existing customers can opt for this as well, and there's no downtime for the upgrade.
