Re: Mobile Phones?

HOWEVER, US West was the leader in DSL where much of the nation had squat and to this day, in my opinion, has the best DSL in the country.
If by 'best', you mean slowest, then I agree.

Re: Mobile Phones?

No.. I mean BEST.. and it's NOT the slowest aDSL service out there. Verizon - what is it... 3mb? 5mb? a their top? and at&t is 6mb.. so, slowest? no.. fastest offering of the majors? yes. Qwest's standard offering for up is 896 (except the 3mb tier which is 512)..

Where YOU are you may only get a slow speed.. but I'm not about to nit pick the individual cases..

..but, I was talking "best" as in the way Qwest allows you to use your service, what they offer, and support.. etc. Try registering a domain name to your account and reverse DNS through AT&T with out expensive fees and hours on the phone.

So no.. you're wrong..

Re: Mobile Phones?

I agree that their service is quite reliable, but we also pay a lot more for the speeds that we get. Most people get only get 1.5Mbps, a lot can only get 256Kbps. Unless you live in a major city area. I'm on the outskirts of Seattle, can only get 1.5Mbps, up until a 20 months ago 256Kbps was all I could get.

Qwest as a company receives a lot of the USF for their phone system. Wish they would be fair and use some of it to fibre feed the remote DSLAMS, instead of sitting fat and pretty on their monopoly.
