Seattle, WA | Qwest speed tiers I contacted Qwest today to see about possibly changing my services and was offered the new 12 and 20 Mbps service. I did not take them up on their offer since I am happy with the 7 Mbps tier. This was for Sammamish WA. | |

Seattle, WA | Re: Qwest speed tiers appears to be available in Seattle, for a few bucks more i can go from 7 to 12 mbs, but my upload would dip a bit. screw that. i think the new speed tiers have something to do with the city of Seattle wanting to contract an all fiber network. | |

1 edit | Re: Qwest speed tiers I currently have Qwest 1.5/896 and checked today if they were going to offer anything faster in my area. No chance....in the near future. There is no competition in my area so they do not feel pressured to offer anything faster than 1.5 for each customer.
:edited for upload speed correction: | |

Idaho Falls, ID | Still only 3mb. Here in Idaho Falls, ID I can only get the 3mb still. So no love here.  | |

| Well... I called them and got a 'not available in your area' answer. But, the crossover box is outside my house, and I've been speaking with the contractors laying the fiber and qwest personnel working on the box...and they said end of April/first of May for it to go live here.
...but, who knows. | |

| The Most Obvious Non-Announcemenet Ever Um...not announcing them? I'm a tad confused. Last Sunday I was at Valley West Mall in West Des Moines, IA, and they had promotional fliers/posters all over their booth for the new high-speed tiers.
Unless by official announcement you mean some kind of corporate mumbo-jumbo press release. But I mean, information is definitely out there. I was looking up the availability of the tiers in my area on their website days ago.

Roslyn, NY | Re: FAST That's rather outrageous pricing.
For example, I pay for 30/5mbit cable from Cablevision Optimum Online which runs me $55 dollars a month. If I did not have Cable TV, it would cost $65 dollars a month. | |

| Live in Utah Karl, a number of our subscribers have already ordered FTTN service. This is along the Wasatch Front in Utah, where is has been rather widely rolled out, and has indeed been announced.
Worth mentioning, this is a Qwest.net/MSN service only. Qwest is not allowing third party ISPs to host this connection as they have for DSL for the entire existence of the product. | |

Albuquerque, NM | Re: Live in Utah Any ideas on when Qwest is going to allow third-party ISPs on their FTTN network? Or is there some reason that I'm not aware of that Qwest wouldn't want third-party ISPs on their FTTN? | |

| Re: Live in Utah Give it a chance. They just announced they were rolling this network out like six months ago. There is a lot of work going in to rolling this service out. Here in NM they have turned up the service to about 15,000 homes, and the first turn up happend at the end of February. They have started where there was fiber in the ground already. I've heard they are going to work on the CO based DSL customers next year. This year it is all about upgrading remote terminals that have fiber run close by. I think they are going about it smart. I wish the 20M tier was lower, but I think the 12M is pretty reasonable. | |

@qwest.net | wah Nice 20Mbps but seriously why so little Upload. If it was at least 5-10Mbps sure fork over 100$, probably wont be buying this. Wish they werent so tight with it. I use more upload then what I download. | |
