Qwest Residential High Speed Internet Service

Qwest offers a selection of DSL services for the home.  These Qwest residential services offer reliability, speed and excellent support - three important things people look for in high-speed Internet services.

How Does DSL Work?

DSL, which stands for Digital Subscriber Line, works by sending digital signals through the copper telephone lines.  The Internet connection received from this signal is both high speed and reliable, while the connection does not interfere with the phone line at all.  How is this possible? 

The bandwidth that is available through the phone lines holds a much larger capacity than what is used by holding simple telephone conversations.  All of the extra space not being used is then allocated to the Internet connection when you set up DSL, and the DSL sends out digital pulses with extra frequency in the phone lines to provide this high-speed Internet connection. 

Advantages of Qwest Residential DSL

Qwest residential DSL services offer their customers an “always-on” Internet connection through the use of phone lines, without interrupting phone calls.  With Qwest, the basic DSL speed will reach up to 1.5 Mbps, versus the 56 Kbps that dial-up connections bring.  That’s a lot of time saved.  Qwest residential also offers a DSL Premier package, where speeds reach up to 5 Mbps. 

The installation and maintenance of Qwest DSL is easier than ever.  When you order DSL, they will send you QuickCare, which is a self-help tool that will fix any problems with your service.  In the event that you still need assistance, the technical support offered through Qwest residential DSL is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week.  Qwest’s customer support is there to make certain that you always have a trouble-free Internet connection. 

Qwest offers packages and discounts to customers who decide on more than one Qwest service.  So search the site for packages and special deals.

We are happy new customers of Qwest residential DSl. Our speed tested between 3.5 - 5.5 mps with an occasional 6.5 [www.testmyspeed.net]! Equals or surpasses what we got with Mediacom for $70. (Yes, we did have one year at a special price, but once that ended, Mediacom raised our bill considerably. DSL bundled with our Qwest phone service is only an additional $25 mo. and "priced for life" as long as we continue our phone service. After cable, this sounds almost too good to be true. It's also possible to bundle with other products, e.g. digital tv, but we were already subscribed to Dish Net for a 2 yr. period so didn't check it out. Even with the two separate contracts, our total bill for highspeed internet, telephone and digital tv is less than we paid just for cable internet.
