Qwest doesn't exactly have the best territory of them all, having to serve many small communities where cable companies tend to not invest themselves in. BTW, technically, Qwest's phone has been digital for quite some time. Don't tell me that Comcast's own tactics are any better or less dirty. I am well aware of the territory issue.. but still, they have cities like Seattle, Denver, the Twin Cities metro (certainly not a small city) and then Des Moines, Phoenix.. they may have small cities, but they too have very large ones.
As for their "digital phone" defense.. don't even try that with me. Just because you have something digital about 23,000 feet away and then send it out analog over the lines doesn't make it digital. With that reasoning, cable TV has been digital for quite some time!
Comcast's "own tactics" to which you know nothing of, is true digital phone. The phone terminates at your home in digital form. With digital phone, there was an RSU on the side of the house that put the service on the house wire and an RiSU inside apartments that did the same thing. With digital voice, it terminates inside the home, even closer, often to a cordless phone, in digital form.
Sorry, but that argument, which has been had, is old, tired, and never going to pass. | |

Since when can you tell someone that they don't know anything about Comcast's tactics? I read just fine, thanks. Comcast certainly plays just as dirty, or dirtier, than Qwest. You'd realize this if didn't have a clear bias, Jack Cafferty.
No one asked about or disputed Comcast's digital phone service. Are you trying to sell something?
Sorry, but you certainly seem to be full of yourself by judging from all of yours posts on dslreports.com | |

| Sorry to tell you, Mr Anon, but the TOPIC in my post was about digital phone.. are you trying to come in and change the topic and context of what I was talking about? If so, next time, please let me know.. it might help, Johnny Bravo.. 
Do you have any idea just how effective the "yea, but.." argument is? It reminds me something like this:
Mother: "Timmy, you can't have ice cream because you didn't finish your vegetables...!"
Timmy: "Yea... but Steve didn't eat his!!!"
So, deflecting the issue away from the conversation point being made with something someone else may or may not have done is doing simply means you have no legit argument of your own.
And, the next time you want to worry about something someone else says on BBR, get an account and put yourself on record.. otherwise, with posts like yours, all you're doing is trolling.
Be gone.. don't you have a bridge to ask riddles at? | |

With digital voice, it terminates inside the home, even closer, often to a cordless phone, in digital form. Sorry, but that argument, which has been had, is old, tired, and never going to pass. I'd rather have reliable than digital. My parents lost power (as well as thousands of other people) for 48 hours after an ice storm last year. Funny thing about that copper telephone service. It worked the entire time. I was able to call my mother, who was home by herself, and check to see if she was ok. (Sure, she has a cell phone, but sometimes she forgets to charge it, and then I can't reach her.) The neighbor's cable phone service, by contrast, was out immediately. Now let's see, which would I rather have? The reliability or the digital thing. Hmm... tough choice there. The storm was so bad that it knocked out power to Qwest's CO, but they have backup batteries and generators, so the phones kept on working. I'll take reliable. You can wank it to your digital phone service.
As far as DSL goes, the DSL they can get isn't as fast as cable -- well maybe it is during peak usage hours -- hahaha! But it's sure a hell of a lot cheaper. They don't subscribe to cable TV, and Internet without cable is over $60 here from the cable co. For that price they get reliable local and long distance phone service, and reliable DSL. In fact, it's so reliable it's been out one day in the 3+ years they've had it -- over 99.9% reliable. That's great for me because that means they don't call me up and ask me to troubleshoot it for them. | |

Unless your real name is Fiber (Cable) Guy, you're just as anonymous as the rest of us.
Perhaps you should review your own post because your topic was not simply about digital phone:
said by fiberguy :If ANY of the providers use marketing as a service, it's Qwest. They tried to compete with Comcast's digital voice by all the sudden one day putting out ads that said "Qwest digital phone".. and then all the sudden it's "Qwest Fiber Internet"... This is one time I will honestly say that Qwest is on it's last leg.. it can't continue to survive in the markets it does.. many of them have either Comcast or Cox as competitors and they're both wiping the land with Qwest. You claim that someone doesn't know about Comcast's tactics is ludicrous, arrogant and shows how you simply spout of about how you think you know better, and how you think everyone else who has a differ opinion is wrong and needs to read a long rant from you.
Apparently, it's OK for you to blast someone posting as an Anonymous by claiming that they are simply trolling and should be working at bridge. You are a hypocrite by deflecting off the subject yourself. You prove you cannot argue unless you get personal and make such childish comments. Using a page from your book, it implies you have less substance yourself.
It still stands that you are very full of yourself. | |

| Let's just gloss over the fact that your topic discussed Qwest's marketing and how they're on their last legs because Comcast and Cox is wiping the land with Qwest. You're known to bend things to suite your argument.
I find it funny that you can't hold a discussion without acting high and mighty and usually restoring to some form of personal attacks. It's classic text book case of substance lacking. Ironic you accuse others of tactics that you're well known for playing yourself. You work in Comcast's management, right?
Good night. You're not worth the time. | |

| Thanks Judge Judy!
Please feel free to pass over my posts - since you don't read them anyway. You spend more time trying to tell me how I communicate instead of dealing with the topic at hand. This is typical of people who have nothing to offer.
I won't respond to your posts anymore.. don't bother. | |
