Qwest is out of the internet in my neighborhood

[coolguy2k]

so i just called qwest to order internet for next week and the guy says, "we are at capacity in your area."

so i called back and talked to someone else, same thing.

They may be at the max compacity for overbooking in your area, not much anyone can do about it, they have to expand their service

wow, that blows. Call the cable company . . . they are always happy to over-subscribe!

 

[coolguy2k]

i kinda don't want to give money to comcast

 

[Captain Colonoscopy]

any wireless internets providers in the area?? you could just buy a cellular card router and go that route, it'll cost you though.....

 

[Cheetoz]

try looking for some indie ISPs. (dslreports.com)

Where at in Minneapolis do you live?

You could try VISI or BHI.

 

[coolguy2k]

uptown; yeah i'll look for indies; there's usi wireless = fail

there's only two indies in my area according to dslreports, i'll call them today

bhi is one that showed up on dslreports, i'll look into visi -- thanks for the tip

edit: visi just refers me to qwest or frontier

Try getting your neighbors to dump thier connections But you really don't want to be there anyways since they are already overselling it.
