Re: Ummmmm... MN... Really? said by fiberguy:As far as them pushing out more services and in more areas.. yea, they lack. I will agree, I have some friends with qwest and they all love the connection reliability. But they all hate the speeds qwest is offering. I do know that you can't build a CO everywhere, but I live in a high-population suburb of St.Paul, there's a million places qwest could put a CO to compete in our area with comcast. But they don't!
The place they build the CO is right where all the restaurants and schools are. The closest homes to the CO they built is only qualified for 1.5meg. The restaurants use them for their free wifi, but all the schools around use another isp (TIES if anybody knows of them).
So now comcast just has a free-ride in my neighborhood. They do a good job with that, but if qwest came in and competed with them, they could do better. And qwest has a ton of open land being sold to development to bring in a CO to come here, but they don't.
Thanks for baring with me!  |
