I thought it would be nice to have a land line in our apartment and so we went with Qwest. We just wanted the cheapest possible option they had and it still ended up costing over $20 a month! For nothing! No long distance, no call waiting, no caller id, nothing! Then, when I moved to the apartment next door, they wanted like $30 just to transfer the line. That's when we decided we were better off without Qwest. Plus their commercials are SUPER annoying.
Comcast is also EVIL. But besides paying outrageously monopolistically high rates for cable internet, their service at least seems to be reliable and consistent.
