I had US West/Qwest for three month before I switched to AT&T @home
cablemodem service.
I wish I never wasted my time and money with US West/Qwest(paid for the DSL
modem and high priced activation fee).
Ever tried to understand your phone bill? It get a lot worse when you add
services like Megabit services(fancy and false name for their DSL service).
I did get good download speed at first compared to my old 56k modem(I
thought).
US West/Qwest tried to tell me that I won't get DSL service back, if I were
to cancel my existing DSL due to not having enough phone line in my
area(sounded like a bullshit threat to me).
I'm so glad that I did not listen to US West/Qwest's bull crap(I would have
never found out how wonderful AT&T @home is, if I stick with US West/Qwest).
I get much much faster download speed with Cable service than DSL service.
I didn't even have to pay for installations nor activation fee, plus I get
50% off for the first 6 month.
I'm going to put my Intel dsl modem up on auction since I'll never go back
to Qwest ever again.
Can't wait till AT&T to offer local phone service in my area(I'm so tired of
being screwed by US West, now "Qwest").
