Questions regarding Qwest.

[Mark Jarvis]

 I think that it's very much a "ymmv" situation.  We have the complete 
Cox package--digital cable, internet, and phone--and while I wouldn't 
claim that they're perfect, once we got past some initial problems, it's 
been pretty good.  When we had "Qworst" phone service we lost it much 
more often than our cable connection.  Plus, although we live in what is 
now regarded as "central Phoenix", I was consistantly told "Sorry, DSL 
is not available for you."
