Hmmmm, me and spider have been discussing this on bnet ... have you already signed up? If you haven't yet, make sure you read the fine print on that offer, as well as any "hidden" charges you may get ...
First of all, make sure there are no minimum period contracts to sign up for ... the $59.95 basic DSL is still pretty steep considering the speed. And the hardware fee is still $225 ... sure there is a $225 rebate but the question is will you get it immediately or will it take the usual 3-6 months before you get that rebate?
And most of all, if you don't intend to stay with Speakeasy DSL and just plan on getting the free Xbox deal,
and then cancelling the service after 26 days (yeah, it's the first thing that comes into anyone's mind when they see this deal), this is written at the end of
this page:

Is there a specific period of time I have to have service with Speakeasy?
We require all broadband customers retain service for 12 months from the date of order completion, as reported by the vendor. Those customers canceling after 72 hours of order placement or outside of any completion grace period are financially responsible for all associated fees as defined by our
Terms of Service. [/color]
And of course, this part at the very end of the
TOS:
[color=sky blue]
$300 Disconnection Fee if your broadband service is disconnected or terminated after your Activation Date and prior to the end of your initial 12-month or extended service term with a specific order. DSL circuits disconnected within 25 days of Activation will not be subject to a Disconnection Fee. [/color]
Not discouraging ya here ... I just think that a deal that's too good to be true probably is
There's an Xbox coming my way...
