Qwest kicked me off

Look at the fine print. Their "unlimited" is just like everyone else - only unlimited if you can prove you are using it for person-to-person calls. They kicked me off.

Qwest LD

I have news for you, they are monitoring all long distance accounts, even the small business acounts and if you go over 3000 minutes per month (fine print) they will sent you a nasty lette, attempt to recoup all the past charges that should have applied and then switch you to their large business acount and for around 6500-7000 a month it ends up over $400.00 a month.


Did Qwest cut you off?
Have you been cut off by Qwest?  Just got cut off by AT&T and need to switch.
I don't know about her, but Qwest
I was using about 7500 minutes a month.
Qwest!!
If you have Qwest where you live, call them now. I have used them for unlimited (no limits!) LD for 8 years. It's a flat $39.99 a month. Before I found them, I did the AT&T/MCI run around, too. The cable LD is a great suggestion, too! Good luck!
Anyone using Qwest DSL?
Looks like DSL will finally be available to me in the near future (am using a pretty reliable satellite right now) - don't know the speeds available yet, 1.5 mbps will be minimum. Anyway, wondering if anybody can attest to reliability, speed, etc. They want a 2-year commitment, of course....  TIA!
I have Qwest DSL
I love it! I've never had downtime.  My husband, who has Mediacom cable internet/telephone/TV has had downtime, which is why, when I married him, I kept my DSL.  Its dependable, more so than a cable company through the digital Television companies.  When I moved in with him, I didn't do anything more than move a few houses down on the same block, and the Internet speed doubled for free.  I was thrown for a loop on how a few feet difference made the availability for even faster Internet connection possible, but I'm not complaining!  He loves it so much, that he will use my computer before he uses his.
Ok-you have kicked yourself long enough.
At least they won't have to bury your mistake. Shoulders straight, head up, first thing Monday make that phone call and let the chips fall where they may. You have been good to them for four years; I'm betting they'll keep you. If not, move on.

You have a good healthy sense of having made an error - a lot of people would have just said, "oh well." The best thing to do with errors is identify them, own them, rectify if possible, and then shut up. People who just have to pound someone into the dirt - especially someone who realizes and feels bad about their mistake - well, they have got a serious problem and should have had their heads pinched off at birth.

You are going to be fine - come back and tell us how it goes.

Good luck to you
hope I don't get kicked off for this

really felt like what you said was so rude about "what planet are you on" that I had to respond.


not sure.  is Alabama a planet?  


Qwest never bothers me

Question about Qwest.
Do you happen to have the residential "Choice Unlimited" plan that actually has a limit of 5000 minutes per month? (That's less than 20 hours a week.) Have you ever gone over that limit and if so did they do anything about it?

Thanks.
ExText kicked out
Hey ExText users, anyone have this problem. Once in my working document, Ctrl S to look at older saved documents, once in a while when sending old report back (Ctrl T) Extext dumps the document I'm working on (creates dump file). Does that happen to anyone else. I'm wondering if putting the document I'm working on in "hold" (Ctrl H) when searching through the older stuff would possibly prevent that. I don't think I'm hitting any other keystrokes, just sometimes dumps me, then have to reload everything, etc.
Just kicked the 3 CPL to the curb!

3 cpl for editing VR is RIDICULOUS and I'm fed up.  I suddenly had an "epiphany" that this just was not worth my time and effort.  Sometimes, if the jobs are easy enough to edit, its not a problem, so I tried to keep an open mind going into this, just to see if one could actually break even or make more than straight typing.  HA!  No more 3 cpl for me.  Someone else can do it, but not me. 


person kicked off new APPRENTICE on TV..nm

You kicked your husband out, but the "mooch" is still there?
Am I missing something?
My ADD kicked in and I took a quick peek
at the article. I really need to work for a change. Will read it later. It seems to me that this report was generated by the people in charge of the system, please correct me if I am wrong like I say I only skimmed it. Will read it totally later on and get back to this hopefully tomorrow. Have a party to go to tonight.
I didn't put up with it! I kicked my ex to the curb because I got tired of dealing with his SM

friends and incessant need to pretend he was a college boy, going to the bars, coming home drunk at 3 o'clock in the morning.  Let me tell, nothing goods from letting your man hang out in bars with his buddies.  NOTHING!  If he needs to have a drink and relax, he can do that at home and the drinks are cheaper!


I can understand that it's hard for you not to give your friend your opinion.  I can't hardly stand to see a woman letting a man treat her badly.  It drives me crazy!  Call me a feminist or a bra burner, but modern women need to get the message that we don't need men so badly we have to put up with all the garbage they hand out!


Don't worry - it kicked my butt for a LOT longer than 4 days,
and I've been in this business for over 30 years. It jujst takes time to absorb new information, and when you get so many things thrown at you at once, it takes even longer. Verifying pt. info. was a sticking point with me, too. The huge list of possible choices was hard to read, and there wasn't always a perfect match.

ALSO.... once you're considered "trained" and not under a microscope, little mistakes will be little to no issue. I think QA just gets a little picky during training, to try to get people started off doing things as correctly as possible.

Hang in there, and it'll all sort itself out in time.

One embellished sentences, another did 200 reports and had 70 kicked back with errors.

I checked into Qwest, but the fine print says if you use more than 5000 min per month, it will .. sm
be reviewed.  Their business rate is per line, and comes out to $500 monthly.  That's the problem with my current company. I figure I'll be using at least 10,000 mins per month.  Can't get Verizon here.  Any other suggestions?  TIA.
