Well, somebody has to be the “slowest”, and somebody has to be the fastest.

I don’t know why I care, but I guess I’m glad my state is one of the fastest.

Interesting study. It confirms my experience with Charter and Comcast - absolute bottom of the heap in customer satisfaction.

The DSL (won’t do cable - sorry) speeds available from Qwest right now are “up to” 1.5, 7.0, 12.0 and 20.0 mbps, depending on the package you order. However, speeds are subject to availability in your area. The only thing Qwest has available in my area is 1.5 mbps, nothing faster. The best download speed I’ve ever attained is 1.2 mbps. They simply aren’t in a hurry to bring me anything faster.

Well..., it looks like Oklahoma is the 8th fastest state by speed, and Cox Cable is the second highest in cable, overall...

I could only get better if I went to fiber optic, but I don’t think that’s going to happen considering the speeds I’m already getting here (20 Mbps down/2 Mbps up)...

Comcast and Qwest,like congress, are content to screw their constituency.
