Qwest.com
Multiple Marketing people from qwest have bothered me today.
Namely, Jake Gull and William Valentine. After multiple 'cold sell' emails, they continue to attempt to contact me. I have relayed my disinterest in Qwest's services, and recommend to others reading this page to not consider them as a viable alternative for any type of Internet service.
Furthermore, they have tried to call me multiple times from these numbers:
415.495.6987 (3:16pm PST)
415.495.6980 (2:48pm and 12:55pm PST) [Kurt Autrey can be reached here]
Click here to hear them leave 'Eat my fuck' on my voice mail. It was left from the 415.495.6980 number.
Another guy (Kurt Autrey) got my number from either Jake or William and states he is from 'Allied Riser Communications'. His number is in the same block of numbers as phone contacts from qwest. Oddly, the qwest people sign their emails with 925 area code phone numbers. Back to Kurt. Kurt also has a message on the i5ive.com site:

Hi I am a white male 29, Italian/American looking japanese penpals.I now live in California, close to Stanford University in the Bay Area. I have lived and worked in Tokyo for three years but the less I use my Japanese the more I have forgotten it. Therefore I am interested in somebody conversing with me in Japanese/English.
Please give me a e-mail and let me know how you are doing. I can be reached at kautrey@wanotech.com.
Talk to you soon!

I wonder if qwest and arcbroadband are not the same group of guys working to resell uswest services or something. They appear to have little technical knowledge. For instance, they all asked me who my provider was. Anyone who knows how to telnet knows how to figure that information out. These marketing schmucks are looking to dupe people and become unfriendly when ignored.
here are some email exchanges:

Yes, leave me alone! If you can't figure out who my provider is, you are
commiting a technical faux pas. Please do not email me again, and please
remove me from your marketing target list.

Rudy,
I think that there might of been some misunderstanding a second ago. The
reason why I was calling, from what I understand your company is looking for
a T-1 right? I wanted to speak with you in regards to that.
My company Allied Riser Communications is a Tier 1 provide which is
nationwide. Are specialty is VPN, Internet Access, Professional Services
etc. As you can see, I am located in the SF area as well as yourself and
would like to see if my company can stream line yours in anyway.
