[DM-MUG] OT: Qwest and Mediacom Internet Service Advice

[Dave Weis]

And just so the people that know me well don't think I've lost my self promotion skills, I recommend our DSL if you are in the more central area of the metro.

Alan,

I agree with David. I would go with Qwest DSL. When Mediacom is  
working it is fine but I have had several times when their server is  
down for several days. When the problem seems to be at my end it can  
take 3 or 4 days to get someone out here to fix it.
