November 4, 2008   Maricopa, AZ:  The first Qwest Choice TV and Internet customers have switched their services from Qwest to Orbitel.  Qwest announced recently that they will cease to provide Choice TV and Choice Internet services sometime in the coming months.  Customers who wish to continue to use Qwest as a provider will be forced to install a satellite dish and also change out their Internet service.  Orbitel has offered Choice TV and Internet customers an option, along with a special discount to move their services to Orbitel.  Many customers are becoming aware of this change and are calling Orbitel so they can initiate the move in their services before Qwest mandates them to change.  "Most customers don't want a satellite on their home.  Satellite service is very expensive, requires two year contracts and involves expensive equipment that does not allow every room to be connected easily" said Keith Kirkman, President of Orbitel.  "We believe our customers want local reliable service for an affordable price.  Orbitel will be here to service our customers today and well into the future.  We will not discontinue our Cable TV, Internet and Phone services. Quite the contrary, we are investing everyday to make those services even better and more reliable."  Customers who want to learn more about this change by Qwest are encouraged to call an Orbitel customer service representative at 520-568-8890.
