Re: The average brings us down?

Doesn't even have to be Rural, can be suburb and urban areas as well. Look at Qwest, they still offer their 1.5mbps DSL package, and that is their most popular package. I've even seen some people that still have the 256/256 package. I think Qwest needs to get rid of the 1.5mbps package and make their base package 7mbps.

Why?? I'm on AT&T and I have 768/256 DSL.. It's not that higher isn't available but I don't need it.. I used to have the 6meg package but it was a waste of $$$..

And before you say it, yes I use it alot.. I work from home, do VPN access, photo sharing, etc.. I don;t do live video streaming and the large emails take longer but so what..

lol to bad they can't even offer higher speeds than 1.5!

If I were to sign up with them it would cost over 30 dollars for 1.5 speeds! Qwest is a joke and having them around here is a joke (Utah).

When I first moved here, I asked the Qwest people at the mall kiosk what they offered. They said 1.5mbps. I laughed at them.

Went to Bresnan and got 8mbit.
