Qwest or Comcast interwebs?

I have had no problems with Comcast delivering what they advertise on the internet front. It's tons faster than my old AT&T DSL (that I had for five years or more). They do have a cap of sorts at 250 GB up/down combined per calendar month. I would think the only way to hit that is with torrents.

well i do download quite a bit.... plus without tv service we would be streaming EVERYTHING we watch. most likely in HD. does qwest have a cap yet?

I'm in Boulder and have had both Comcast and Qwest. Qwest had frequent outages, slow speeds and their customer service was a hassle to deal with. I haven't had any problems with Comcast and am quite satisfied with my (new) service. I'd recommend Comcast.

I'm in Boulder county, and have had maybe 1 short outage a year with Comcast over the last several years, which I think is pretty good. Get ready to pay twice as much for half the bandwidth you're used to. Hopefully you'll get a good introductory rate.

Unfortunately, if you need any sort of reliable speed, Comcast is it. The only reason to go with Qwest is if you _really_ need a cheaper alternative. I hate both. I wish there were real alternatives.

no verizon FIOS out there yet is there?

I'm in Denver, near downtown. I've only had Qwest since November, but I haven't had any problems with it. I have their cheapest DSL option, and it works great for me, and we torrent stuff and watch things on netflix all the time. Also, they have a month-to-month option, which was nice since we only need it for 6 mo.

i have lived in Capitol Hill and still live very close to that area. I have attempted to get service from both providers. After I stayed at home all day waiting for Qwest to connect my internet and TV, I finally called and was told that they sent someone out, but s/he couldn't find my address so s/he left. I got not phone call when the service person was lost, and they wanted to re-set my connection date for a week and a half later. That may be a one-off situation for Qwest, but I have used Comcast since. They have great customer service. There's always someone to answer my questions, and when I had to have a modem replaced they came out the next day. As the current situation stands, I get most of my TV by streaming from the internet. I have never had issues (like getting kicked off for downloading too much) with the service.

I've had both within the past 8 yeahs...comcast all the way. It's faster and has fewer outages. Although I wouldn't rave about either one.
