War between Internet providers!

Hi,

So I've posted befor getting great answers for questions leading up to this.

Alright...I actually checked and everything for money savingness. I'm stuck between Qwest and Charter.

Now Qwest seems favorable on the forum. I too have been favoring it now, because it's modem/wireless benefits. But after calculating everything...which I want to pay a years worth. It all came up to about 600 dollars. That's 3 months at 17 then up to 46.99 afterwards. Then I'm paying set up fees, and the 1 time fee. There's also the price of the modem, which was I'm not sure...40-70? Oh and the speed is 7mp.

Now Charter...It was 29.98 a month for 6 months. Which I think is 5mp speed. Ok and after the 6 months it'd be 46.98. They offer a purchase of there modem, but I couldn't find a price...There also wasn't any set up fees and such noted. Again no note of there being a wireless deal either...oh wait...I think they charged an extra 5 or 10 a month for that. Another downside to charter is I'd be paying my cable too. I'm currently at my Moms house, where she has Charter cable. I'm paying a year advance for schooling. So if I do this with Charter it'd go towards the cable aswell...
My solution to that would be paying the cable bill each month even though it's been paid. So it'll keep that credit.

I'm not sure how much a wireless router would be and all...

Then if I did go with Qwest, would the wirelessness be usable for my Xbox 360 too!?

Think thats it...for the moment. Oh, it'll all be used with a G71G Q1 laptop if that makes any difference.

Can anyone help me make such a big decision? I may have more questions in awhile...
