Xylem Posted November 11, 2005 CID Share Posted November 11, 2005 "This letter is to inform you that your telephone number, XXX-XXX-XXXX, now qualifies for CenturelTel High Speed Internet. Please call our customer service department at 1-800-201-4099 to get the latest information available on the current promotions offered." Looks like I'll be using D-way as a back-up connection for the next 10 months. Thinking I'll just get the 256/128k connection for $24.95 per month ($19.95 for the first six months), or would it be worth it to get the 768/128 even though I have Direcway (~800k down) incase I need the download speed?

resopalrabotnick Posted November 11, 2005 CID Share Posted November 11, 2005 if you set up an easy way to change between connections i think you'll do good on the 256/128 package, especially since getting the bigger package wouldn't get you more upload.

Xylem Posted November 11, 2005 Author CID Share Posted November 11, 2005 Sorry.. got that wrong it's actually a 768/256k plan, so it would double my upload. also I save $10 per month for 6 months (making it 29.95 per month for 6 months, then $39.99 thereafter). As opposed to saving $5 with the 256/128 plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xylem Posted November 11, 2005 Author CID Share Posted November 11, 2005 The goverment would be paying for it (financial aid kicks ass). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xylem Posted November 11, 2005 Author CID Share Posted November 11, 2005 I think I'll just go with package #2, 2x upload and 3x download never hurt anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
