Re: [TCLUG:6489] Qwest bids for USWest Really RE: DSL

HOT-DAMN! I qualified for the 384k service! She said the reason was that
they use the USWest line to verify that the CO is capable of doing the
switch work, but they actually string their own line from the CO to the
house. It does NOT piggy-back your voice line like US West DSL.

If you're interested, HURRY. They have a promo going to waive the $299
install fee if you call before 5pm TODAY. They begin installing in my area
July 1 (southern Minneapolis), but it'll still be 30-40 days after that
until I get hooked-up. Oh, well...at least there is actually light at the
end of the tunnel!

I'm so excited!!!
