Hey I work at Qwest and have not seen this offer advertised much yet so I thought I would make sure it showed up to fellow FWers.

Here is the deal, if you have a phone package(a phone line with 3 features usually 25.99-29.99) with Qwest you can get 1.5 mb DSL for 14.99 and 7 mb DSL for 24.99 for a FULL YEAR WITHOUT CONTRACT(you can do the price for life contract if you would like).

This is of course for new customers only.

Here is the link, just select your state and check if they have high speed available in your area.

FOR EXISTING QWEST CUSTOMERS CLICK THIS LINK AND INPUT YOUR HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER:

or here to check availability on your phone CHECK AVAILABILITY

FOR NEW QWEST CUSTOMERS PUT IN YOUR ADDRESS AND INFORMATION AND THROUGH THE ORDER YOU WILL SEE THIS OFFER:

***EDIT*** This is available in all Qwest areas with 1.5mb DSL speeds and up available, however YOU WILL NOT SEE IT UNTIL YOU INPUT YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER OR ADDRESS IF YOU ARE A NEW CUSTOMER.

If all else fails you can call customer service and sales to order at 1-800-244-1111

IIRC Qwest was the only telco that did not give in to the illegal requests for wiretapping (come back with a warrant). But.. it's Verizon only where I live...

NSA Has Massive Database of Americans' Phone Calls

"It's the largest database ever assembled in the world," said one person, who, like the others who agreed to talk about the NSA's activities, declined to be identified by name or affiliation. The agency's goal is "to create a database of every call ever made within the nation's borders."

Among the big telecommunications companies, only Qwest has refused to help the NSA, the sources said. According to multiple sources, Qwest declined to participate because it was uneasy about the legal implications of handing over customer information to the government without warrants.

Qwest's refusal to participate has left the NSA with a hole in its database. Based in Denver, Qwest provides local phone service to 14 million customers in 14 states in the West and Northwest. But AT&T and Verizon also provide some services — primarily long-distance and wireless — to people who live in Qwest's region. Therefore, they can provide the NSA with at least some access in that area.

Not sure where this deal is valid, but its NOT in Arizona! Normal 29.99 prices showing up here.

I just got signed up for $29.99 last week... how could I change to this plan?

Unfortunately you can only get this if you are a new customer, I have not received any info that current customers or almost brand new customers can switch to this. You could call in but it would be a big YMMV sorry.

$25 x 12 = $300
$37 X 12 = $444

Monthly fee (over 24 months) = $31

Green for you, OP! Of course, I already have 1.5mbps service ($27/mo), so I had to get my Qwest buddy to contact his people internally to see if I could get this deal (they'll be calling me next week).

They only show the $14.99 for 1 year though, not the "price for life" de

Yeah, just to clarify this deal is only for one year. Even with the price for life contract it only lasts one year and goes up to the price for life price after the promotion of 1 year. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that. You also do not have to do the contract, you can go month to month and then it goes a lot higher after the 1st year.

I'll have to call Loyalty in a few months when my 2 yr contract term expires (for the 1.5 mbps price for life). Too bad for now...

All:

Just wanted to note that the $100 gift card deal is in effect at Wal-Mart as well, and they also offer the free basic modem deal (they had a little Qwest kiosk in front of the electronics dept). So, you pay for the modem, then you send in a rebate that comes with the modem to get it free.

They activate the gift card in the store, but tell you that you have to wait 8 weeks before the $100 credit gets activitated.

This was a helpful post, Op. Thanks!
