Television Provided by DirecTV
Cell Phones Provided by Verizon
WiFi Provided by AT&T
I'd Pick on their Internet and say Provided by MSN... (long shot though)
And.. it just leaves them with crappy, over static, unreliable, over priced voice service that no one really wants any more.
Hrmmmm... I wonder where that leaves the big Q... |

Qwest up after JPMorgan upgrades, citing strong business revenue trends, conservative outlook

Qwest is actually still the ISP. When you look at the modem's login info & password, it has a qwest.net login name |

Re: Q stock upgraded..why?
because according to investorland... failing companies are good buys and companies like verizon and comcast who are upgrading their networks to new standards are f*****g morons with bad decisions on their shoulders..... |

Re: Adios
Funny how you're often the first to criticise people who either generalize or exaggerate.
Any proof that "no one really" wants voice through Qwest?
Any proof that qwest's voice is static and unreliable? Or are you doing the same thing you blast others for doing by talking like your experience speaks for all others?

Let's see those "facts" that show how "most" people don't want POTS. fiberguy always states people on this website aren't comprised of most people. Most people do not know what POTS is or even care that it is used. All they want is a phone that has a tone, dials a number, and a person picks up on the other end.
for example, my mother thinks IE, Firefox, and Yahoo IM is all email. She says I need to check my email and if she has trouble I have to look at what she is doing to know what she is doing. if I ask her if she cared that POTS was being used she would respond with what the fuck is POTs...If I ask her what she thought of VOIP, she would respond what the fuck is VOIP. My mother is the average techie American. she could care less about how something works or what is being used to get it to work. all she expects is that the damn thing works (her words).

Re: If Q does sell the long haul fiber
Copper is freakin' dead. Been for quite awhile now.
Their best bet is FTTP (or FTTH) now. Why keep using outdated technology over and over again?
"Sure, we'll lay out brand new copper pairs." Hell with that, I want a new fiber. |

Re: Adios
Um... Yea... my proof is the bleed of customers that Qwest is experiencing being the largest land line loss of all the major providers, for one. Is that enough for you?
Second, it's a WELL documented fact, over years, that Qwest, formerly US WEST, of having THE WORST reliable service and THE WORST in call quality of all land line providers.
I'm guessing you're not a Qwest customer, are you!?
Ever had a provider take 8 months to get you a single land line? Ever had a provider lie through their teeth with static at the dmarc and tell you there's nothing wrong? Ever had your service go down for a week or two at a time with no resolution?
When you live in major cities like Minneapolis/St. Paul, Denver, Seattle, Phoenix, you'd not expect to have service like you lived in a remote back woods area where Party lines are the norm.
I don't base this off my own experiences, which have been INCREDIBLY awful, but off of actual data, complaints, and PUC records..
So, I"m sorry to disappoint you, mr anon, by my statement was vague or generalized one bit.
Google will guide you the rest of the way... |

That's still far short of "no one really", a claim you made, and is simply the same type of generalization and exaggeration that you blast others for.

Sounds like a personal experience, you know, the type that when others share you blast them because they don't represent the majority?
