I agree with you guys. Not having to talk to Qwest again IS priceless. I am on cable modem and cell phone. I have not noticed any problems with the cable modem and in fact find it faster than DSL at my location. It was the greatest day in my life so far when I picked up the phone and the line was dead. On a related sidenote: it seems qworst made a bookkeeping error and they actually owe ME 20 dollars! When did that ever happen? --- H. P.
