or, as they say, duelling modems. our phone service provider, formerly
uswest (known locally as usworst) has changed over (by being bought
out) to qwest (known locally as qworst). service has probably
dis-improved, as we say locally. i have invented a new protmanteau
word to cover it all - 'deproved'. shorter and describes qworst.
i got another service man out this afternoon, and he seems to have
made things a little better. my fingers are crossed.
