| In defense of Qwest
OK, maybe they are lagging in deploying "next-gen" broadband to "high value" city-slicker customers. I don't care; even with their poor debt position, they seem to be making an effort to provide most of their customer base with basic DSL, before suppling the Lucky Few with Next-Gen.
In this area, there's both Qwest and VZ territories. 'drive around the Qwest territory, and you see alot of those mini-DSLAM cabinets that they've deployed for DSL service, in rural areas. My vacation house in the forest in the low-population east side of Oregon just got DSL.
Unfortunately, I live in VZ territory. Their strategy seems to be to focus on only a portion of their customers with next-gen things like FIOS, and leave the rest of us to twist in the winf. |
