Funny. I used to have DSL from USWest/QWest until last October. I plan to get it again (in case Covad goes belly up). Funny thing is they now say I don't qualify because I am too far. They have got to be kidding. I used to have 640/272 service. I am 12800 feet from the CO as listed by Covad and I currently have 1.5Mbps/384Kbps service from Covad. QWest refuses to discuss this with me. I told them to give me a technical answer as to why I suddenly don't qualify when I used to qualify and it is very clear the line is more than capable. I am supposed to get an answer by 4/9. Yeah, right!
