Actually, when changing ISPs, Qwest will not change out your CAP circuit 
for a DMT circuit at the Central Office.  They will simply reroute your 
DSL virtual circuit to the new ISP.  Qwest should be able to replace 
your circuit with DMT without changing your ISP, but be prepared to pay 
for it.  Your best bet is to contact your ISP.  They will have more 
influence and contacts at Qwest to get it done.  Good luck.
