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!
