Centurylink is not even trying to compete

I live a in a smaller city a couple miles north of Provo. Qwest/Centurylink only provides 1.5 Mb DSL to a large swath of homes. They have made no effort to improve speeds in areas serviced by iProvo (now Google) or the larger Utopia FTTH network. Due to the proliferation of FTTH in neighboring cities, a few WISPS have proliferated to fill in the holes providing reliable, faster, and cheaper service.

I live one town over from Centurylink's corporate headquarters. Most they offer in my area is 3Mbps DSL, with caps. I'm using a smaller local DSL provider that is giving me 6Mbps(sometimes it goes up to nearly 7), with NO caps.

So, Centurylink isn't even competitive near their home base!
