[Mpls-pm] [OT] Connectivity in Minneapolis

[Ken Williams]

Hey,

I'm moving to a new house elsewhere in Minneapolis in a couple months, 
and I thought I'd take the opportunity to cheapen my home connectivity 
by going DSL-only (no voice) with Qwest and use Vonage for VOIP.  But 
it looks like it's really no cheaper; Qwest charges $49.99 for a bare 
DSL line (which *is* pretty fast, 896K up and 1.5M down - they don't 
offer the cheaper options for bare DSL) and Vonage charges $24.99 for a 
call-all-you-want plan.  That's a total of $74.98, which is a whopping 
$3.95 cheaper than our typical phone bill.  Not worth it.

At a previous PM meeting I recall a couple people (James, for instance) 
saying they were saving lots of money with some package like what I've 
been trying to put together, but so far I seem to be on the outside of 
the price-saving clubhouse looking in.  Tips?
