... And if you see in my signature I've had faster. As I said, it's not 100% of the speed that was promised but seriously who cares at that point. If I had business class service I might bitch to them about it but I only pay for residential. The service I have is Qwest

Since I live in Phoenix so it's obviously here as well. I highly recommend their service, although I'm only a couple weeks in it seems to be pretty reliable and insanely fast. The upload is unbelievable.
