Don't worry!  You don't have to change to MSN!

Secondly, why would you thinkg that AT&T lines are cleaner?  I am just
curious.  Unless I have been drinking my bathwater, AT&T owns very few,
if any, local loops.  If you get service from AT&T, it is the exact same
copper pair as if it was with QWEST.  QWEST is pretty much the only
company that owns local loops.  All of the competitors lease the lines
from QWEST, and then to you.
