DSL service special for Qwest DSL customers

Im going to check with my wife to make sure she has'nt returned the email i
saw from qwest

label'd

time is running out

I hear you though im not impressed with their MSN change over ... I think il
call them up .. ( not that their lvl 1 support bodz are anything more useful
than blown fuses ) ...

but maybe someone there could answer those questions.

Im going to say i dont want to move over to MSN what more can you do for me
as a valued customer ... if they get snotty then well bad press can come
quickly ...
