Qwest's growing fiber-optic network powers the company's advanced Internet services, Qwest Connect(R) Quantum and Qwest Connect(R) Titanium, delivering connection speeds of up to 20 Mbps and 12 Mbps, respectively. Qwest plans to offer the fiber-optic technology to 1.8 million potential residential and small-business customers by year-end in 20 markets, with the faster Internet speeds already available in selected areas in the following markets:
-- Phoenix -- Albuquerque, N.M. -- Tucson, Ariz. -- Portland, Ore. -- Denver -- Salem, Ore. -- Colorado Springs, Colo. -- Bend, Ore. -- Fort Collins, Colo. -- Eugene, Ore. -- Boise, Idaho -- Salt Lake City -- Des Moines, Iowa -- Provo, Utah -- Minneapolis-St. Paul -- Seattle -- Omaha, Neb. -- Vancouver, Wash.
"This milestone not only represents solid progress in our advanced fiber-optic Internet expansion, but also illustrates our standing commitment to deliver the broadband speeds, capabilities and value that our customers want," said Dan Yost, executive vice president of Product & IT for Qwest. "With access to our Qwest Connect Titanium and Qwest Connect Quantum services, customers and communities are on the cutting edge of Internet technology and its boundless benefits."
With Qwest Connect Titanium and Quantum, customers have access to the fastest speeds available within much of Qwest's fiber-optic Internet reach. At less than $50 a month, Qwest Connect Titanium delivers the best value to customers who frequently surf the Internet and download multimedia files, while Qwest Connect Quantum is ideal for customers seeking higher speeds for streaming video, high-resolution photography, file-sharing, online gaming and other bandwidth-intensive applications. For example, a Quantum customer can download a two-hour movie in as few as six minutes, or 30 songs in as little as one minute.
