For those considering DSL, news from a recent Xmission announcement. ***** XMission is very happy to announce that we have decided to raise our DSL bandwidth quota to 100 Gigs/Month in celebration of the new "7 Meg" DSL tier that is now available.
Last month we mentioned QWest would be coming out with a new tier of DSL service that would support up to 7 Megabit connections. As we made preparations for these higher speeds, we decided it was the perfect time to raise our base DSL usage quota to 100 Gigabytes combined. This quota change is also in anticipation of our partnership in the UTOPIA fiber optic network, which we expect to start signing customers up for next month. ** For only an additional $10/month to QWest, XMission DSL customers can now get up to 7 Megabit on their QWest DSL line. XMission is not charging anything additional for this service but you need to contact XMission technical support to have us make a small configuration change on our end to support the higher speeds. Please contact XMission Sales during business hours to see if your phone line qualifies for this new tier of service and to order it. Once ordered, you will need to wait about 5 business days. No changes in your DSL hardware is necessary. We are pleasantly surprised at how many people are qualifying for higher speeds regardless of past line tests. In some cases, we are finding some people qualify for DSL who have never qualified for any level of DSL service in the past. Please understand that few people qualify for the full 7 Megabit but many are qualifying for at least 3 Megabit. .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
