Actually, while Qwest is the DSL provider, you can have a different
ISP. And, in fact, these other ISPs can deliver DSL services to
locations where Qwest will not. NOTE: Qwest *will* not, not *can*
not. The issue is there may be load coils and bridges on the line that
Qwest chooses not to remove. Due to the telecommunications laws,
however, if they are asked to remove them to service a customer on a
different ISPs behalf, they are required to do so. So, if you want
DSL, and Qwest tells you your line doesn't qualify, try contacting a
different ISP. It wont necessarily work (I can not get DSL at my
house, for example, because my neighborhood is behind a MUX and there
is not enough copper to my area to support DSL), but it is worth a try.
