I hear you! Right now they can only offer 7MB in my neighborhood, but I can get that with Comcast so I see no reason to switch at this time. Considering the age of my neighborhood (46+ years), if they would upgrade the copper we would probably get 20MB or better. I've already sent them a 'comment' via their website telling them that I would switch in a heartbeat if they would upgrade the copper in our neighborhood (and probably others would too). ---------- Todd Young ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Jensen" <jjensen at apache.org> To: "TCLUG Mailing List" <tclug-list at mn-linux.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 5:19:06 PM Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Qwest special ending (was "FIOS first experience") I'm just hoping they actually establish the service! The fastest they offer for me currently is the 1.5 down 800 up. We do plenty of streaming, so it becomes a saturated pipe (surfing is slower, extra buffering needed). 40 down will be wonderful (5 would even be a serious improvement!)!
