[olug] qwest cable

[Nathan D. Rotschafer]

Requesting a static IP is free (I have one).  They do on the cable  
side filter ports like 25 inbound and outbound along with 80  
inbound.  Overall I like the service and it is fast.  In my new  
apartment that I'm moving into in August I'm choosing to go back to  
qwest dsl over cox cable for a lot of reasons.  I currently have  
qwest cable and would be happy to answer anything else you might want  
to know.  The reason for the special modem is that it isn't true  
cable internet but instead basically vdsl to the box in the backyard  
to deliver voice and internet over 1 line...
