Internet Solver can do the same speeds as the "Heavy Duty Internet", but we're dependent on having one of the Fiber to the Node cabinets near you.<br><br>Last I heard, there was not any public data being made available from Qwest on their deployment schedule for FttN.<br>
<br>Call Internet Solver, 224-9229, we can let you know if you can currently qualify.<br><br>-dc<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 12:46 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bofh@visi.com">bofh@visi.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

"up to 40 Mb/s" "Heavy Duty Internet" over the past<br>
several months. Seems however, that not only am I unable<br>
to get it, but I've not met anyone who actually has it.<br>
<br>
So two questions:<br>
<br>
Does anyone actually have Qwest high-speed DSL (7 Mb/s+),<br>
or know someone who has it?<br>
Does anyone actually know the deployment timelines? (For<br>
the past year, Qwest has given me the runaround on this<br>
question.) Mr Weis?<br>
<br>
Frankly, I'm tired of hearing friends in places which are<br>
considered boondocks by the boondocks express surprise<br>
that I've only a 1.5 Mb/s connection. One friend lives 3<br>
miles out from a town of 500 people in the 8th poorest<br>
county in the nation and has a 12 Mb/s connection; other<br>
are in even better shape. This is just ridiculous.<br>
