    so if your commitment period has run out and your isp is charging you a really high price, try giving them a call and see if they are willing to give you a discount in exchange for committing to another year.
    I did the same and now I pay $29.99.

    I told Comcast I would switch to Verizon (the company I work for) and would pay the $29.99. They changed it to Verizon's price. I did the same with my dial-up and it dropped from $14.99 to $9.99 and they both were entirely different companies.

    Well I got my self-install kit today, and there is no NIC, even though the FAQ said it comes with one. Oh well, not really a problem.

    Now I just have to wait until Friday before I can hook anything up...

    Thats just how fast someone could send data through your computer, but ofcourse no one does as you don't have 10mb.

    yeah that works too, the old "i'm thinking of switching to the competition... you wanna match their price instead of losing a customer?" threat.

    phone companies, isps, and cable/satellite services... they kinda want you to have the impression that the prices are set in stone, but competition is so stiff that when push comes to shove their prices totally ARE negotiable. you just need to pick up the phone and push 'um a little bit, and you can walk away with a nice discount.

    Only one and a half hours to go! In one and a half hours (12:00am), it will officially be the 25th of March, and I can set up my DSL.

    Damn the wait is killing me, if anything goes wrong (because I'm on a shitty PC), I will go crazy!

    45 minutes left!

    I just really hope nothing goes wrong, my computer is crappy, and just might die recognizing a new connection. If I don't post later on in the evening, something has happened, and I have thrown my computer out a window.

    yeah, good point yogi. When I had DSL last year, I upgraded to 3MB and they told me that I would be down 24hrs for the upgrade, I was only down about 3 hrs
