And yet Qwest still can't bring anything better than 1.5M to my place in Waukee.... I hate Mediacom.......................<br>Anyone know how to "politely" ask Qwest when I can get better service available?<br>

I can't believe it is in West Des Moines though. If you subscribe do they actually have to run new fiber to your house?<br>
