On Thursday Qwest Communications introduced two tiers of ADSL2+ Internet service, Qwest Connect Platinum and Qwest Connect Titanium. Platinum tops out at 20 Mbps (@ $104.99) while Titanium tops out at 12 Mbps ($46.95). Both offer 1 Mbps uploads and a $5 discount if combined with local phone service.Qwest plans a phased roll-out in 23 of its top markets in 10 states. You can find out availability by going to their website.
In a press release, Dan Yost, executive vice president for Qwest said:
"Our customers tell us that they want more speed, capability and value in their connections. Qwest listened and has developed the Quantum and Titanium services that really change the game when it comes to today’s online experience. Qwest has committed to spend up to $300 million to bring the latest in fiber-optic technology closer to the customer than ever before, and we're ahead of schedule on our goal to make this service available to two million customers by the end of this year."While that's great, and while it makes my Comcast service (more expensive - at least for Titanium - and slower) look really poor in comparison, of course it's not available in my area. What I'd really love, naturally, is Verizon's Symmetrical FIOS service. Also naturally, not available in my area.

I'm stoked!!!! My buddy just got hooked up with this Qwest 20Mb downstream 5Mb upstream and its running stable for the the past week. he's even running a little faster than the 20Mb. Since seeing this I have chosen to get off of cox cable completely. Since Cox has been nothing but trouble constantly slowing down and speeding up and dropping out all of the time. Get Dish network for TV and some Qwest action you wont be disappointed.
