There is no requirement that you use Qwest or MSN for your ISP on your DSL
line. You can use any company that you want to, if they can handle DSL. I'd
look into this option before having to change all your equipment and signing
up with another company.

A good local company (in my experience) is PCI Systems
<http://dialup.pcisys.net>. I've been with them for over 5 years, and am
still incredibly happy with them.
