You can do the Qwest.net Internet basic for only $10.00 a month. That
is of course on top of the $28 a month for the DSL line. Basic means
you get an IP address and thats it, no email boxes, web storage, any
of that. It was perfect for me, when all the local DSL ISPs I looked
at wanted $20-$25/month, and I all care about is that I have an IP
address.
