Sort of. With Qwest there was a $70 modem to buy, and there was a $50 installation fee, but they gave me a $50 Visa Gift Card that I could use to pay off the bill. I'm not sure that the modem is worthless after 6 months, so the Qwest service may cost $42/mo for 6 months with the modem cost added in. Mike
