Qwest slashes Internet price
Denver Business Journal

Qwest Communications Inc. has slashed the monthly price of its highest-speed
Internet service for new and existing customers.

The Denver-based telecom (NYSE: Q) dropped the price of its residential,
20-megabits-per-second broadband service to $59.99 monthly. The service, called
Qwest Connect Quantum, had cost $99.99 a month.

The small business broadband service with the same speed is dropping from $140
per month to $100.40.

New customers will be able to order the fastest Internet speed at the reduced
rates. The bills of customers who already get Qwest?s 20 mbps service will
drop 40 percent, the company said.

The 20-mbps speed isn?t available in all areas where Qwest offers broadband
service.
