Free PS2/XBOX with DSL

has anyone seen this deal?

Seen it, but have you looked at the prices of DSL. Pretty large.

They were running it last month too. They are pricey, but for that price you get (reportedly) excellent customer service, the best pings in the business, and several dedicated gaming servers. If I didn't have a year contract with bellsouth I'd be seriously considering it.

I've heard really good things about speakeasy too.

Too bad it wasn't the deal with controller and games :)

why would it be considered pricey
their classic serviec is 49.95 which is how much
Earthlink and BellSouth charges
also u get the DSL kit for free after rebate

To get the free console you need to subscribe to their "Gamer" package, which starts at $59.95.

Yeah, 59.99 which equals out to :

49.99 a month for 12 months if you can get DSL in your area (They say I can get it, I'm gonna research it a bit more and we shall see)

and 10 bucks a month for 12 months for the X-Box or PS2, so basically 120 for a new console.

The thing is, in my area at least that $60 only gets you 608/128 Kbps. It's $70 for 1.5Mbps down.

Reading through DSL reports, they have caps on their newsgroups, 1Gig a month max. They use Giganews and if you want more, you have to pay more :mad:
