Hard DSL Outage, MagusNet, Inc. is down

[Todd Hought]

That's all we need, and I thought people with cell phones were a hazard :-)
Seriously, tho, technically, if you had DSL coverage from WG, you 
probably were in range for USWest/Qwest, you might want to call them up, 
explain the situation, and if what my wife tells me is true, they will 
probably jump at the chance for one more DSL customer, since their 
availbility is so low for the rest of Phoenix.

Just my two bits, take with a 38lb grain of salt :-)
