I spoke with two people at Qwest today. The first one had a clue, with a straight answer. Then I called back to get an email documenting that (managers...) and got a lady who had no clue. She thought it was $60/mo, until I walked her to Qwest's site to show her that's the cost of the modem. /me smacks forehead on table -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Tom Penney Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 2:48 PM To: TCLUG Mailing List Subject: RE: [TCLUG] DSL w/o all that nasty phoneline business On Wed, 2004-03-03 at 14:15, Jason Lanpher wrote: > So who did you contact to change your service Qwest or your ISP? Both. I called my ISP first. Visi has nothing on their web site about this, at least not that I could find. I asked about the 1.5m "Choice Deluxe" service. It's $19.95/ month to visi. and $28/month to qwest. Visi took placed my order and gave me a number for quest. I Called qwest, 5 days it will be up. The person at qwest was a little confused, she thought she was screwing up my order because she thought it should cost more :-), I told her it was suppose to be $28/ month, That seemed to put her at ease enough to place the order. - Tom > > Jason Lanpher > > Network Administrator > > jlanpher at stealthnetworking.com > > http://www.stealthnetworking.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Tom Penney > Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 2004 12:36 PM > To: TCLUG Mailing List > Subject: RE: [TCLUG] DSL w/o all that nasty phoneline business > > Awesome I just upgraded from 256k service.
