qwest could remain relevant and alive if they choose to compete on price rather than speed.
Price frice. us power users want MORE UPLOAD!
which isn't going to happen without REAL COMPETITION. and 896kbps isn't real competition.

it all depends on how you look at it and what you hold to be the "most important factor" in picking an internet provider. qwest could either compete on speed or price (and within price i'm lumping value). the new vdsl offerings (if they ever materialize) could pose a threat to some of the mso's that share area with qwest.

however, for those user's who just want a cheap, stable, internet connection, qwest could make itself a better option by pricing its adsl tiers far below the local cable offerings. if i could get qwest 1.5meg dry loop for $20/month or so and maybe 3meg for $27-30/month, i'd be there in a heartbeat. i don't need "ultra fast downloads" when i'm looking at the money spent every month. i want a good, stable, cheap connection.
