hmmm. This cought me off guard. Usually qwest doesn't do anything besides blame the isp.:P. It's possible they could have had a PVC conflict. (you and someone else witht he same vpi/vci on their circuit... that's happened a few times.) But that's quite interesting that qwest actually did something.

You were probobly getting hit with code red. Qwest should have thought about that at least... did they have you reconfig your router to set web dissable? that's probobly why your router would lock. (I work for an isp so I deal with this a lot:P)

That's also because a good cable modem is cheaper than a good dsl router. DSL for the most part runs on DMT technologies. DMT is composed of 256 different sounds strung over a particular frequency range. Cable on the other part... is much simpler. About the speed difference. DSL is not shared (except for the idea of your ISP overselling like msn and aol does). The biggest problem dsl has is with the stupid CO's and having crappy cards that they don't want to replace when you call in with a problem. (gg qwest) so I sympathise with you on that qwest problem. purty l4m3 I say.
Just as an FYI, I think a lot more universities are getting rid of microsoft products intentionally... I, personally go to the University of Utah, which is well renound in the technical field of study, and everything we do... yes EVERYTHING we do, is via our sun microsystem terminals which are connected to a sparc server cluster. It runs fabulous. and they did it that way intentionally... 1. It's sparc... that just makes everyone warm and tingly inside. 2. It doesn't suck... wait, I think I mentioned that already... when I said everything runs on *nix. and 3. It's unix, you don't have to have licences for all those lazy engineers who have an internet connection and want to just ssh to their shell on the server and vncserver:port it. Do all your homework and not have to make the 20 mile commute downtowne... It's just better that way. like I say... just an fyi;)
