Terribly unreliable

I bought this POS and was happy for the first two weeks, solid connection and fast speed. If you would have asked me then it would be a 5. Fast forward 4 more weeks and we find that the network has changed. I am no longer connecting to the same access point even though customer service claims it's fine, it's not. When I can connect I get a strong signal with "very good" signal quality however I am not served webpages because the network fails to assign me a network address. After not signing up again for the second month on a non-renewable funding account, I was billed. I have yet to be repaid for what is borderline theft, and the technical support guy would have nothing to do with helping me resolve it. I explained to him that I cant care less about the money I WANT to pay and I want him to look at the issue. His responce is to have me click on "repair network" (no I'm not kidding) that was the extent of his knowledge on connectivity!! I bluntly explained that my roomate and I have proven that their access point is bad and is non longer allowing access, I attempted to give him the technicalities supporting this but immediatly was far over his head. We spent 2 days in technical annalysis and found that only 802.11(N) will connect, no (B) or (G)and we can also prove that our nearest access point will not assign an IP, but this is all for naught as it will require a repair on their end rather than simply sending me away to fix my laptop. It should be noted that as a holder of a degree in engineering there are quite a few operational laptops in the house and this problem was tested and confirmed on 4 of them. As of now I am still waiting for someone to tell me what has happened to my missing money, and am apparently waiting for an "advanced engineer" to get a hold of me. I am not at all hoping that the problem will be resolved due to the afformentioned issue being fully on mad city broadbands end and will require someone to actually repair it. I doubt that some owner in Atlanta really cares that they have lost this eager to pay customer.

dial up speeds

I pay for 1.5Mbps and get 0.134Mbps. This is ridiculous. If I wanted dial up speeds I'd pay 10 bucks a month for dial up instead of 38 for this crap. the technical support people don't help at all. unreliable. slow. and unhelpful. don't use qwest.

Broadband Service Provider Information
Broadband service used to be an ubiquitous term for high speed internet from your local ISP. Either though a cable provider with a cable modem, or DSL service from your phone company utilizing a DSL modem. Nowadays broadband service basically means \"lots of bandwidth\". This bandwidth can be used for digital cable and digital phone service as well as traditional internet service. Broadband doesn't necessarily mean wired, you can get wireless broadband service in most areas.
