rockin the dial up
If there is anyone out there who actually reads this, I apologize for being so lax in my posting. All I have to say is that Qwest is not my favorite phone company right now. Their “spirit of service” may need an exorcist!
I called to order our new DSL modem and they transfered me over to repair. I waited on hold for like 15 minutes. The repair lady hounded me about what was wrong with our modem. I told her that it died and I want a new one. She said, “Well, we just don’t send new ones out.” And I asked why I can’t just buy a new one. Turns out that I needed to talk to the ORIGINAL PERSON I TALKED TO before I waited on hold for FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!
So when I got back to him, he told me that they only lease modems out to new customers, not exsisting ones who have been paying $88 a month for the last two years. By that time, I was too mad to want to give them anymore of my business that I just told him to forget it and that I would buy a modem from someone else.
Unfortunatly, a modem would cost more from someone else, so I’m sadly off to bite the bullet and call the stupid Qwest guy back.

Gotta love the phone company–every one of ‘em! Quest is probably my favorite too. So, I’m waiting to hear if you called them back.

I don’t know where you live, beyond that it is within Qwest’s coverage. I dumped Qwest real fast for my DSL service and switched to Speakeasy (www.speakeasy.net). You can check on their website to see if they cover your area. I have yet to have a problem with them, in a year and a half of service, as opposed to practically every week with Qwest.
