Esther, I filed a complaint with the Attorney General of our State. Quest was charging me for a DSL connection speed up to 5 mb (the higher price) for 2 years, but I found out our houses were only wired for 1.5 mb. An extra 20 bucks a month for 2 years...well, you do the math; I got ripped off.
I tried to resolve the problem with Quest, but they only wanted to refund me for 3 months.

Is that good?
I don't know what I was promised to be getting. I just downgraded my Wild Blue account, saving $30.00 a month.
Update with link that Prax provided my speed was a little better.
