Does switching from 1.5 Mbp to a faster fiber-optic connection require any system changes?

[Lisa Kachold]

No switching to a higher bandwidth DSL Qwest service will equate to nothing
more than a QoS jockey batch running the settings to each level of service
based on your support tags.

I would, however, be sure that they did not charge you for the "self
install" kit.

Once you determine it was not part of additional expansion fees, the CD will
make a fine coaster or when crunched up small and laminated into plastic,
earrings that geeky women will happily buy at First Friday.
