Getting the 7M today from Qwest

I don't know.. I like Qwest. Its nice not having to pay Comcast's predatory price for their HSI when one opts out for their ingress infested crappy CATV picture with bi yearly price hikes. At least in my area, the Qwest DSL is enormously more stable with almost non existant outages.. ( one in over two years for me). Well see how long people like Comcast if they truly start with the capping and throttles. I don't expect Qwest to follow suite as soon. This will be a nice draw for cable HSI customers to change to Qwest DSL.
I really don't see whats so evil about Qwest. With CC its quite easy to see. After they were caught using Sandvine to block P2P 24X7 they denied it. And then they lied that they only did it during times of congestion. Comcast are a bunch of control freaks and will continue to play around with their networks regardless if their are issues with bandwidth. At this point, how can anyone believe these liars any differently. If anything has taught us anything over the last couple of years its that Comcast cannot be trusted. And I'll say one more time as I have in other posts that Qwest was also one of the few telcos that told the Bush admin they would not allow them to illegally wiretap their customers. I really respect them for that and sticking to the 4th amendment. For a big corporation this is really a big deal.. especially in the current environment this country is in. I also know the Bush admin took away many lucrative government contracts because they stood up to Bush and friends. For this, I respect Qwest even more. If I wanted, I can upgrade up to 12M for Qwest. Even if Comcast offered me double that for the same amount I would support Qwest. I guess I just don't see much evil in Qwest.

I agree with you whole heartedly. Comcast is the epitome of a controlled, filtered and packet mangled Internet—and if you want that, well, enjoy. But if you want a real Internet connection, Qwest still provides this.
