Qwest DSL
Mar 3, 2007
I just switched to Qwest DSL for internet access and I have one problem. I cannot access any sites hosted by ServerWizards on all 5 pcs in my house. Even people who comes to my house with their laptop cannot access my sites hosted with SW. Qwest technical support can't help.
This problem occured three times so far this month
1st time I assigned a dedicated IP on all pcs to make it work
2nd time I contacted Qwest support and rebooted the modem to make it work
3rd time I contacted support again and tried everything but does not work
I have no Firewall other than Windows forewall. No virus to think of. Reboot
troubleshoot this or explain what the problem might be.

I would like to hear some input from users that have had experience with Qwest and Sprint's network. How do they compare to the other tier one providers? I know some networks depend on location, so I would like to hear from people that have used them in Texas if possible.

Does anyone know anything about the Qwest colocation center in Chicago? It is the 7th floor in the same building Equinix is in. I am looking for positive or negative feedback as I'm looking at potentially placing a couple of cabinets in there.

I find it very interesting that the major ISPs in and around Portland Oregon apparently do not peer with anyone in the region. For low latency you're better off choosing a provider in Seattle or San Jose as traffic always seems to be routed there and back anyways.
Why is this? Is it simply not worth their effort to setup the peering connections because most traffic will be hosted outside the region anyways?

Can anyone comment on how their experience has been with the Qwest network in the Texas region? It seems by looking at their network map that they have many directly links to other cities coming out of Houston which is a surprise to me as everything seems to come from Dallas on other networks.
Can anyone comment on pricing? What can you get a FE or GE commit from Qwest for?

I am looking at getting some Qwest bandwidth at 200 Paul, San Francisco. Not being too familar with Qwest's network and as part of evaluating that decision I did some testing to see how the routes/latency looked from various points on the Internet and from our other data centers. For pretty much all the testing I did from the major tier 1/2 networks, Qwest has great peering in places you would expect resulting is decent routes and low latency.
The strange thing is that the one exception is routes from Level 3. As an example, traffic from various Northern California points on Level 3's network to a test IP on Qwest's network in Sunnyvale all go via Denver to connect to Qwest and then back to the Bay Area. For LA originating traffic, it goves via Dallas. Same thing for Seattle that is going via Denver.
Hard to imagine these two tier 1 providers don't peer at any location on the west coast at all? Is this typical between these two or is there some temporary outage right now? Or is there some peering spat going on between them?
Seems pretty silly for traffic to go 3,000 miles between points that are only 10 miles apart!
Here is an example of the route to a test IP sunnyvale.speedtest.qwest.net (205.171.214.185):

Anyone have experiences with using Qwest bandwidth in Northern California they care to share?

For years we have been able to send and receive through our web sites using Qwest and then a few weeks ago it stopped working for sending completely. I checked the usual things like port 25; I changed the outbound mail address to smtp.live.com per their instructions. Nothing. Now that Qwest is MSN it just doesn't work and their offshore "support" is worthless. This happens using Windows XP Pro and Vista.

How would you rate the following networks for transport and IP services:
Level3, Qwest, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon
Please put them in order from you number one choice (best choice) to your number five choice (worst choice) if possible.
