Yes you are quite correct, I did not get my point accorss well at all ;-)
Here QWest, DSL is just is such a over loaded, under staffed, non-business
type of service that you simply can not count on it. They just do not have
the people and equipment to deal with the volume, both of install and
repair.
Here the QWest FR is rock solid, the only outages I have taken have been the
five minute "sorry we need a quick maintanence window" type.

Very correct! Do not get me wrong, DSL can and is a very good solution for
many things, but the quality of provider/reseller, the busniness need and
the like all count.
