I'm sorry but for those who demand higher upload speeds, get a T1! Okay, I'm being facetious but 20 Mbit down is an upgrade from 12 Mbit down, right? ure it costs about the same per megabit down as the 12 Mbit plan, so no volume discount, but maybe it's worth it to some people. I'm not too familiar with Qwest though they're the telco here but i they don't throttle you then 896k/s upload is better than 384 or 768k upload and I'll take what I can get. $100 per month for an internet connection may seem exhorbitant, but on the other hand it's THE fastest internet in Qwest's service area AFAIK. Comcast may have an 8/1 tier with boost but that's it.
Sure, I'd like better upload speeds, but comparing this with the ISPs in my hometown it's not all that bad. Highest-speed DSL (where you can get it) is 6/384 or maybe 6/768. Highest speed cable i think is 10/1 on Time Warner.
So I welcome the addition of more download speed to Qwest's lineup; I saw the pricing on it last night and it's not that unreasonable for non-bundled internet. Just because Qwest didn't give everyone a pony doesn't mean that (after they introduce a better product) they should be kvetched about 'til kingdom come. What are AT&T's plans like by the way? | |

Jamaica, NY | Yeah, stop complaining, $100 a mo for something 15x faster download and .75x faster upload than a $400 line. It pays off. We can put you back on ISDN if you want. | |
