Qwest's DSL is a joke and their tech support is non existent. My son and I recently spent hours trying to hook up Qwest DSL service for a friend --Qwest just sent the modem and a 200 page manual in the mail. Once we finally got things going it was hardly faster than dial-up and went down within 20 mintes of installation.
If cable isn't available, I wouldn't mess with DSL. These co-op guys should go satelite dish.
The Qwest service on the East Coast is a joke( thats why WPI went to another ISP) supposedly they are good on the West Coast.
