1 edit | Time for some service enhancements.
Current Qwest customers can expect many service enhancements in the future to keep the stock price ever increasing. Such as a 40gb download limit, 1 dollar per gigabyte overage charges, increased internet connection prices for existing customers and the offering of 3 month deals for new customers so they can still advertise the lower price, etc. And Qwest will blame all the "enhancements" on the cost of network upgrades to continue to provide their customers with the quality of service they expect, instead of just admitting it's because of the low stock price and the network is more than capable of handling all of the customers traffic. |

This reminds me of Mad Money's Cramer last year saying Qwest would be the first to $12 out of 3 stocks he had chosen to compare. I was still working at Qwest at that time so I just remember him saying it, and then watching Qwest landslide.
Jockeying for Position: Dynegy (DYN), Brocade Communications (BRCD), Qwest (Q)
Cramer suggested three "horse racing stocks" under $10 to keep investors interested. These are just temporary plays and should be sold when they reach $12. He notes DYN was "trashed" because of its former CEO Chuck Watson, but has been rescued by current CEO Bruce Williamson. He notes that DYN could be an attractive takeover target. "Brocade has momentum but is scary -- which is exciting," Cramer said about his second-favorite pick, which recently bought out its competitor and is in a position to raise prices. Cramer's favorite "horse" is Qwest which is around $9, but should be the first to reach the finish line at $12, because of its big federal contract.

Qwest Communications(Q - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr): "Upward and upward some more ... 22 million shares traded today ... part of a major ramp. I'm sticking by Qwest. I'd even like to buy more." Qwest is sharing in a huge government contract, too.

Way to make things up without the slightest clue what you're talking about.
They're not going to institute a 40GB cap, and no provider's network can handle an unlimited amout of traffic. |

Don't you HAVE to upgrade the network before you can CLAIM you spent money on network upgrades?

If he was always right, he wouldn't be working at CNBC
But that is one hell of a loss! Reminds me of Sprint. |

You are limited by megabits a second times the amount of seconds in a month. When an ISP offers a speed you can use that to find out what you your maximum total bandwidth per month can be. |
