McLeodUSA cries foul over US West service delays in Greeley
McLeodUSA Inc files with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission alleging discrimination by US West Communications against a former small business customer in Greeley. The firm says two line installation commitments were missed and a separate business at the same site received service while Subway’s shop waited. Olson says a US West employee urged her to switch for priority. Regulators are asked to hear the complaint within 90 days.
