| Altitude Sickness? Apparently at the Qwest headquarters in Denver the majority of senior executives suffer from altitude sickness which has dumbed them down to subnormal levels. They are unable to think clearly, probably need help spelling out the big words and are too busy reading comic books to pay attention to the world around them.
I had Qwest for years in the middle of Phoenix and was limited to 3mb down. That was livable when I was running servers and needed freedom and static IPs. When I simlified life and no longer needed the perks of DSL, I made the move to Cox and for the same monthly amount I get 10+mb down and 1+mb up. The service has been totally good and no ouages (wished Cox video was as good). When I queried Qwest execs I found there were no plans to upgrade the central Phoenix area, but rather they would put all their dollars in the new developments on the outskirts-where foreclosures are daily events and I doubt they are getting many new customers. Stupidity, arrogance and badly thoughtout greed seem to be the corporate norm for Qwest now. And if I can ever pry it from my spouse's hand the land line will go too.
I don't want them to die as some would suggest, but they really should fire the top level of management and then limit executive salaries to $1/year with stock options. That would cause them to really learn the market and not just continue to ride the same blind mule they have been on for years.
