I mention it because I'm fairly sure that you've already passed judgment when CenturyTel is a much different (read better) company than Embarq.

That, of course, is slower than the Cox 16 Mbps premier package, but a hell of a lot better than 1.5 Mbps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Embarq-NV-22418810 Wed, 20 May 2009 18:09:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Embarq-NV-22418701 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Embarq-NV-22418701 Wed, 20 May 2009 17:45:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Embarq-NV-22418165 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Embarq-NV-22418165 Wed, 20 May 2009 16:28:55 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Embarq-NV-22417945

Embarqs shortcomings in Vegas probably speak to the larger story of Embarqs problems. Maybe that is why they were acquired by a smaller company. I know CenturyTel currently has 10M and 20M products available in some of their larger markets...and by larger I mean large for them, nowhere near the size of Vegas. So CenturyTel seems to better understand serving urban markets...you may some worthy telco competition in your future after all.
Forgive me if I'm skeptical, but Embarq (previously Sprint, atleast here) has been saying they plan to upgrade our dino city network for the longest. Meanwhile, our pals up in Reno are being fed U-Verse from AT&T. I'm jealous :)

Perhaps CenturyTel will upgrade, although it would appear that they have a long way to go. I'm hoping, based on the fact that CenturyTel is better with rural areas, that they'll just sell off the Vegas market.

On the other hand I get 10000/768 from CenturyTel at my house, compared to the 8000/512 for the same price from Time Warner Cable.

Welcome to 2009?
You live in a different city. I'm fairly sure the title of my post included "NV" as in Nevada, primarily Vegas, which has been a garbage telco market since the days of Sprint.

Not saying Cox is bad, but it would be nice to have some worthy telco competition here to give them a reason to implement DOCSIS 3.0.
