I live on the SW corner of Ankeny and I have a Qwest 7Mb/s connection. It was around 3-4 years ago that my area was upgraded to be able to get that. I was also a Mediacom costumer before that and I hated them with a passion.<br>

HD Internet is available in the Beaverdale area of Des Moines. I<br>
upgraded to 7mbps about 6 months ago. Speed is as advertized. The<br>
Actiontec Q1000 modem needs to be rebooted about every 1.5-2months in<br>
order to get the connection working again.<br>
<br>
I would have preferred to use local ISP like InternetSolver or<br>
Freese-Notis, but they didn't have anything higher than 1.5mbps at the<br>
time. 1.5mbps is really getting close to being like a 56k modem with<br>
today's web sites/applications.<br>
