Customers have said they want a fast, interactive connection to football, and Qwest s morefootball.com makes that possible, adds Hoff.

More Football was designed to support heavy traffic and mass video uploads and storage. Downloading videos takes only a few seconds and uploading videos takes approximately two minutes if the user has a high-speed Internet connection.
