BellSouth is giving new FastAccess DSL customers $50 off select HP Pavilion desktop PCs just in time for the holidays.

“BellSouth is continuously seeking unique ways to provide value to our customers,” said Kim Whitehead, vice president of marketing for BellSouth. “Our latest offer provides customers who are just breaking into broadband technology with the tools, like quality HP PCs, to achieve a superior online experience.”

New FastAccess DSL customers can purchase a configure-to-order HP desktop PC, including keyboard, PC, mouse and a 17″ CRT monitor, with prices starting at $349 plus $99 shipping. In addition, up to $100 back through mail-in rebates are available through hpshopping.com when customers buy the PC and the monitor.

Customers who don’t need or want a new PC can opt to receive $50 cash back from BellSouth instead.

Subscribers who order their FastAccess DSL service between November 4, 2005 and January 5, 2006 are eligible. To receive the promotional code for $50 off an HP Pavilion, or $50 cash back, visit BellSouth Reward Center. The promotions will be available approximately 7 to 10 business days after placing the DSL order and must be redeemed by January 15, 2006.

BellSouth FastAccess DSL provides three tiers of service: $24.95 for 256 kb/sec download speed, $32.95 for 1.5 Mb/sec download speed, and $42.95 for 3 Mb/sec download speed. Actual speeds may vary depending on phone line conditions and distance from the central office.
