Similar situation for me: CenturyLink/Qwest for > 10 yrs, local Easystreet as my ISP, got a deal on the ActionTec modem from Qwest, it's old but functional.
Qwest's customer support was abysmally awfully terribly horrid. Easystreet is great, they've even helped diagnose obscure incompatibilities between a prior DSL modem and a cheap ethernet switch in out outbuilding. Haven't had to deal with CenturyLink yet. My biggest complaint is the telco's apparent unwillingness to upgrade their copper - i keep getting breathless promotions about 7mbps service, but my queries into when i'll have anything above 1.5 go into a black hole. Still, it's less offensive than having Comcast's tendrils in my house. ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA 至誠 On 9/24/12 11:05 AM, "Tony Rick" <[email protected]> wrote: >I've been using CenturyLink/.Qwest for a bunch of years, but only as the >line provider.
