Visi is good, but you're still running on top of Qwest, so if Qwest drops a node or whatever it will still hit you. Although if you had to choose between running with a provider that runs off Qwest hardware or going fully with Qwest, I'd go with the other provider every time. We use Visi at work, and the quality of the customer service is so far above anything we've gotten from Qwest, it's not even funny. I've used Speakeasy at home before and they were great. If I remember right, they even use Linux for their internal business programs and will even offer support for it. It's nice not having to explain to tech support that you use Kmail/Evolution/Mozilla for email instead of Outlook.
