Re: If only user desire trumped engineering obstacles...
said by Karl Bode  :Yeah, if only there were a technology that offered faster upstream speeds! Name a technology that Qwest could deploy at the same or lower costs than their FTTN ADSL2+ offering that would allow those faster upstream speeds. |

That's why I stick with Cable, because they can.  |

Name a technology that Qwest could deploy at the same or lower costs than their FTTN ADSL2+ offering that would allow those faster upstream speeds. Yes, Qwest shouldn't have to spend MORE money! God, how dare some suggest that they may be better off with a more expensive choice- haven't those unlucky enough to hold shares in Q suffered enough?
Qwest dug themselves into this pit with all their debt, but now I don't really see how they can do anything else- they simply don't have the capability to make huge expensive deployments like telecom mega-conglomerates VZ and T. |

said by maartena :None. That's why I stick with Cable, because they can. But the cable companies are getting greedy and really pushing traffic shaping appliances and content sniffers as well as talking about real caps on total data transfer. So far, the DSL telcos have stayed out of that.
I have Comcast now and have already been victimized by port blocking and traffic shaping and it is getting to be a battle that requires work arounds that cost additional dollars. I am getting the QWest 20Mbps soon and will compare them side by side and for a week or two and then stick with one or the other. If I choose Qwest, I WILL miss the 2Mbps upload link that Comcast offers as uploading my pictures for printing [I am an amateur photographer], and doing file transfers to work will take more than twice as long  |
