Only the regular DSL people are affected by this.  VDSL have only a single
provider of both the access and ISP which is staying Qwest.

I haven't heard anything from Qwest about switching to MSN.  I was
poking around the Qwest website looking at their ISP list and it looks
like they're just "encouraging" people to switch.

FWIW, I sent a note to Fastq tech support with various questions.  They
said that they're working on being able to be a VDSL provider but Qwest
is currently the only choice.  They also said to check back in a few
months, which I intend to do.

I was looking for info on keeping my VDSL connection, and Qwest for
video, but having a different ISP -- didn't find anything but I didn't
look *that* long.  Does anyone have VDSL and a different ISP?  I'd
appreciate any info.
