Ack! Internet Blackout!

     So, its great to be back.  For the last forty-eight hours Digital Fruit has been on an internet blackout because of some billing discrepancies with Qwest communications.  Though not completely settled, we have been able to restore service.  So, I'm back, and I'll post again soon.

CenturyTel Buys Out Qwest Communications

     So, I have some potentially saddening news for fellow Qwest customers, they are being bought out.  The buyer is CenturyTel, and this worries me.  I've been a CenturyTel customer in the past, and let me say, I was not impressed.  Lets just hope that their customer service has vastly improved since I was a customer.
     But, on a positive note, I have heard from a local employee that the working conditions at Qwest should improve.  Apparently they were not that best, and the employees are glad of the change.

Qwest to Bring in OC 192 Connection

     From two different Qwest employees I have now learned that Aberdeen will be getting an OC 192 connection channeled into town, with an upgrade to an OC 48 going out to Ocean Shores.  This kind of upgrade to our communities fiber optic bandwidth means that high internet connections speeds for customers will be trickling down the line.  This should please a lot of the Qwest customers, and may even benefit customers of other providers as well.  I'll update as more information becomes available.
