| They admit they owe money .... I notice that the majority of responses do not live where this is taking place. I do. My personal service is through Qwest, but where I work, the local domestic violence shelter, uses Zianet. And let me tell you the last 2 days has been a nightmare.
People can snicker, make jokes and point fingers, but the fact of the matter is, in the state of New Mexico, we have only one ground phone service and that is Qwest. And I'm sure there are laws protecting their right of eminent domain over us.
I see both parties at fault over not coming to an agreement before this thing occur. But I find it most suspect that Qwest decided to do this not only at the end of the month, but at the end of the year, when so many businesses have to do year end transactions.
We are in a real bind out here and Qwest informed us today that it would not be until late next week until we get internet access if we decide to leave Zianet and start using Qwest.
So all of you who are not affected by this, snicker away. But, I know that when this happens to you, there will not be enough tissue in this country to stop your blubbering. | |

While Qwest certainly dominates the state for wired voice service, especially in the populated areas, there are any number of independent companies serving the state. Plus, in the populated areas, Comcast offers digital voice with similar reliability to POTS.
Furthermore, you seem to be mixing up wired phone service with internet service. Qwest did not kill anyone's phone service. They did stop providing internet facilities to an ISP that wasn't paying it's bills.
VOIP is not the same as POTS or Digital Voice. If your non-profit was using VOIP for essential/emergency communication, perhaps you need to rethink that. | | |
