[Cialug] [Slightly OT] High-speed DSL availability in DSM metro

[Andy Beatty]

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.
