ClearWire is wireless... all the equipment will have to swapped out

Qwest is finally doing better. More dsl revenue.
But I wonder what the 99.00 doesn't include and how much the total
package costs, with extra charges.
They never tell the total price, they just quote a unit price.
And quoting unit prices is fully effective enough. One of my POPs has
gone from 20 customers to 1 customer, as Qwest has aggressively targeted
the area with phone calls to each (!) of my customers 4, 5 and 6 times a
week, offering 1.7 Mbps service for 37.50/month. The contract is vaguely
and worded in very fine print so no one gets that it is an introductory
price, with miscellaneous services and taxes extra. Many will probably
rue the day, but I can't hold on to that POP with one customer.
And how the heck did they get so specific on the customer list? Do they
offer a cut to judas goats?
I begin to think the big guys are now starting the big squeeze. Oh,
expletive deleted.
