I got a callback from the ISP's DSL salesperson who impressed me with how familiar she was with the two local carrier's DSL offerings and the details of their signup and install procedures ... down to the number of days it takes the two carriers to provision the lines after installation ... how to tweak them to do a fast loop qual ... etc, etc. May be old hat for ya'll, but it was a serious data point for me ... I'll probably take the GTE DSL Gold service ... $80/mo for 768k/768k if I can get it. GTE is running a promo with a big savings on the fixed costs: Promo Price ----------- $99 one-time charge Includes purchase of modem, service connection, modem installation, and inside wiring. Only available on 1-Year or 3-Year service contracts. Original Prices --------------- Modem purchase - $300 Service Connection (Required) - $60 Inside wiring/modem installation - $80 IOW ... they're giving me the modem for free if I sign up for a year.
