Yep, all the hidden fees are missing.   To get the 1.5mb you have to
use the MSN option which adds another $10 or $15.

I have my current bill in hand:

  Qwest Home Service: $41.66  (phone)
  Qwest DSL w/MSN: $43.04
  Qwest Long Distance: $5.73

That's $90.43 already without the DirectTV and the bill is going to go
up another $20 after the 1 year mark because the "special low price"
ends.
