"During the second quarter, the Company continued to see steady demand for high-speed Internet products including fiber to the node and reported significant progress on most of its key subscriber metrics in the quarter. Qwest added 34,000 broadband customers for a total of 2.9 million. The second quarter was Qwest's best ever for fiber to the node with net subscriber additions of 65,000, bringing total fiber subscribers to 269,000. Wireless subscribers grew for the second consecutive quarter to 763,000. Video subscribers improved to 853,000 for the quarter, reaching a 15% penetration rate of primary consumer access lines.

The networking world is now at a cross roads with increasing demands for more bandwidth while at the same time trying to deal with effects of a global recession. The 40 gigabit backbone is already not sufficient and carrier networks are set to move to 100 gigabit networking technology in 2010 as the technology becomes available. Qwest will also be upgrading its nationwide network into 2010 to achieve the higher speeds."
