So I shall shortly be joining the world of real computer users. I’m replacing my WebTv (don’t laugh) with a brand new Apple Ibook.
I want/need DSL. I’ve checked on some local providers, and QWEST offers the best deal:
DSL: (256K level) $35 for 12 months, then it goes to $40. I’m in service range and it’s a month-by-month contract for the first 12 months.
ISP: Included in the $35 per month, it’s MSN.com. 6 email addresses
Modem: Free
Install: Self-install of DSL software, said to be Mac compatible
Other access: I travel around Montana, and the $35 is to include 10 hours of dial-up 1-800 access per month. I can work within tha.
Activation fee: None if I install by myself, $99 if QWEST does.
Any other questions I should ask or suggestions?
-
There is another local company (3 blocks from my house, they provide services to my neighbor across the alley and we’ve drank beer together) but they are $53 per month.
-
And I know that QWEST sucks for customer service. But I now have the secret QWEST numbers to get in-state help.
-
I plan to WI-FI soon.
Thanks,
