DSLDepends where you live. I had the Qwest DSL package and was getting only slightly better than Dialup speeds (verified by multiple broadband speed test sites...averaged around 86kbps.)
I know others that love it however, but anyone on my block who's tried it hated it and switched back.

ive had Qwest DSL for a while now and its pretty good once i got a modem that was worth a crap. Also the tech that installed it was telling me a big thing with DSL is to find out where the nearest repeater or server relay is, he said typpicaly DSL can only run about 3 to 5 miles (in some cases less) on a run without a repeater. luckily im only half a block from the local server relay, so connection is fairly decent. ive had some relatives using cableone, one was banned for downloading (riaa complaint or some sh%^)
the others have not said bad nor good of it i guess. -
The modems that came from Qwest are refurbished Actiontec gt701r models, and they were usless, i had 3 before i quit dealing with Qwest to replace them. i have since bought a Actiontec gt701wg the main difference is the it is wireless and has newer firmware, oh yeah, it is not refurbished! lol the 701wg seems to be a really good modem. although if i had a choice id probably buy either a intel or a motorola modem.

Bought mine at Best Buy...so I'd like to think it wasn't a refurb.
