[NMLUG] Qwest/MSN?

[matthew.mccleary at gmail.com (Matthew McCleary)]

I've got to disagree there, though keep in mind that I'm not in New Mexico
-- I'm in Trinidad, Colorado. I've had Qwest/MSN 1.5 Mbps DSL service since
mid-December and have had virtually zero downtime and hardly any flakiness.
If I had to assign numbers I'd say I get a glitch maybe once every two
months or so, and it's always short-duration (2 hours or less).

No, I don't work for Qwest, but I do approve of their
anti-roll-over-for-the-NSA attitude. =3D)
