Qwest Fiber Optic Ring
Posted by mike | Filed under news, technology
Well, i have to say it’s been worth the wait. We’ve been on 1.5mb DSL since it was first offered by Qwest where we live but it’s not very efficient or all that fast and certainly not up to par with it’s competitors in the area. Yesterday we finally upgraded to 12mb DSL and i’m still shocked at it’s speed and efficiency. I no longer have to wait for any streaming video to finish downloading before it starts or wait for hours for large downloads to complete. As a nice test, i downloaded a 1.2gb .iso disc image file from Microsoft yesterday and it took around 15 minutes….smokin!!! Best part is that the pricing is very competative, i am not paying a dime more for 10x speed increase…now that’s a bargin.
