I used to have Qwest phone service, DSL, and my ISP was Fastq (excellent ISP). I have since switched everything to MCI. MCI has "The Neighborhood" plan that includes local and unlimited long distance for $49.99 a month. Plus, for $35 more you get unlimited DSL. When I had the Qwest/Fastq combination, my advertised rate was 640kbps down, 256kbps up. Actual rates were about 440kbps down, 240kbps up. With MCI the advertised rate is 1.5Mbps down, 256kpbs up. I get about 1.05Mbps down, 205kbps ups. For $35 for DSL+ISP, I think it is a fantastic package. Of course, that is just my opinion--then again, I could be wrong. Dart
