I found the Daybreak Internet survey that was sent out in August of last year, which I have pasted below. According to the survey, the Daybreak Internet price of $33 per month is a 40% discount compared with retail rates. This is false. I just priced 12 Mbps DSL service from CenturyLink.com, and it came to $35 per month.

The current Dabyreak Internet price is not a discount.

Some more info:

- We are getting DSL speeds over our fiber optic connection (slower than before)

- There is no technical advantage to having Fiber-to-the-Home if we are limited to DSL speeds

- Our internet connection is more similar to a standard Qwest DSL line than it ever has been

I plan on attending the October 19 open council meeting at the Glass House (6:00pm) to raise this issue.


Here's the survey that was sent out:

Option #1
Bulk Bill: 1.) Residents will receive a higher connection speed for less money. Each resident will receive Fixed Choice Online Internet at $33.00 per month ($99.00 per quarter) for 12Mbps instead of 10Mbps for $35.00 (approximately 40% less than retail rates). 2.) Each resident will be investing in the Community; Qwest will share 10% of the total Choice online internet monthly revenue billed in Daybreak with the HOA. 3.) Residents will be billed for service on your HOA Quarterly Statement. Residents can customize their connection speed upgrades and receive a separate bill from Qwest for the incremental cost. 4.) A dedicated account team will work directly with the HOA for billing and service questions. 5.) Limits the HOA's responsibility on delinquent accounts; accounts at 30 days past due will be suspended; accounts at 90 days past due will be disconnected; The HOA's financial responsibility ends at 90 days. (Any reconnect fees will be billed directly to the resident from Qwest)

Option #2
Non-Bulk Bill: 1.) Residents will receive retail rate: 12 Mbps monthly rate $62.99 when bundled with the Eligible Home Phone Package and $67.99 without bundling with the Eligible Home Phone Package. Higher connection speeds are available for an additional cost. 2.) Share of revenue with HOA is limited. 3.) Each resident will receive a separate bill from Qwest. 4.) Each resident works individually with Qwest without the HOA's involvement.
