    Do you think they'll notice? http://www.tsewq.com

    Are we perfect? Of course not. Do we (as you say in your website) "suck"? Far from it.

    Now to get to the legal stuff. Your false and defamatory statements and your use of the Qwest name and trademark are illegal. You should cease and desist from using the Qwest trademark and publishing false, defamatory and disparaging statements. We would like to resolve this matter without legal action, but will pursue a lawsuit if necessary.

    I would be happy to meet with you at your convenience before we both start spending money on lawyers.     -- Legal Dept Letter

    Money, when isn't it about money.

  3. Re:Qwest is being investigated too by buckeyeguy · · Score: 3, Insightful · on Internet Giants Prepare for WorldCom 'Storm'
    I briefly worked at Qwest... it was such a messed-up organization that I quit (before mgmt started laying off post-merger headcount). Yes, they overbuilt, not just fiber, but the CyberCenter concept (managed hosting) which never quite took off; think that may have been sold off. (?) Then of course the USWest merger, which allowed the PUC regulators in 14 states to get back in the game and address what was seen locally as poor service by US West.

    Interested parties can check out Q complaints at 'Tsewq'.

    IMHO: it'll be decades before all the built fiber capacity is used up, because not only did the telecoms install it, but non-telecoms, like Williams (later WilTel), and electric utilities with existing right-of-way space, like AEP, also laid fiber with the intention of marketing it. But Q won't go under; the RBOC will keep them afloat, and sale of their Yellow Pages asset will generate cash (as opposed to WCOM, who lists assets of $104 billion, half of which is intangible/goodwill, and the rest of which will likely be undervalued if sold).

  4. Of course it's wireless! by drfrank · · Score: 3, Funny · on Wireless Messaging for Bacteria

    A more interesting story title would have been "Wired Messaging for Bacteria". As far as I know, no bacterial colony has been caught setting up and using a wired telecommunications network. (The pond-scum at Qwest have gotten close, but they're certainly not there yet.)

  5. The friendliest cease and desist letter ever seen by jerde · · Score: 2, Funny · on Qwest-MSN Subscription Switching: Unfair?
    This is the friendliest cease and desist letter I've ever seen.

    What a novel and non-corprate-drone way to follow the necessary procedure to protect trademark property.

  6. Qworst. by Dan+Crash · · Score: 5, Informative · on Qwest-MSN Subscription Switching: Unfair?

    Qwest and Microsoft *should* be partners -- Qwest is the Microsoft of the telecom industry. They telemarket numbers their customers have specifically asked to be unlisted; they bully, harass, and trick customers into accepting options they never wanted. A match made in heaven.

    You can visit tsewQ.com for more info, or write their CEO at joe@qwest.com. It won't really help, but it might make you feel better to vent if you've been screwed by Qwest as, ahem, some of us have.

  7. Dump Qwest by austad · · Score: 5, Funny · on Qwest Plan Stirs Protest Over Privacy

    If you're in Minnesota, you can dump Qwest for USLink. Anywhere Qwest offers service, so does USLink. I've been with them for about 4 months, and they are both cheaper, and they haven't "accidentally" messed up my bill like Qwest did every single month. And you get to keep your same phone number.

    Seriously, if you have problems with Qwest, report them to your state Public Utilities Commission. I reported them about 5 different times. One of Qwest's customer service people actually suggested I cancel my service because they didn't want me as a customer anymore. After I left, they called me almost every day to get me back. I hate Qwest.
