Actually, my girlfriend lives with her aunt and uncle til she finished school, and they have exactly the setup you are pondering. to be blunt, they have Dish network for TV and they have quest for phone and DSL and i beleive they have the package you are looking at. pricing sounds familiar. i did the self install for em with the kit they got, and they love it. far as i can tell, the speeds are really good and the service is really good. they dont live to far from you either, they are in davenport so its local. if you were thinking of going that way, id recommend it, or atleast be one vote in favor of it. i beleive they have the
1.5 mb service. if you are willing to pay for the 7mb service, do so. you wont be disappointed.<br><br>paul<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/15/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Dietz, Brian</b> <<a href="mailto:Brian.Dietz@gbe.com">

through the same situation of having satalite Tv? If any of you know of other
options and/or gotchas with Qwest. I am staying with various distros...Ubuntu on
