Regardless. I plan on looking into Qwest for my business.

No I'm not a terrorist, and no I have nothing to hide. Its a shame that I even feel the need to say such things. Bottom line is, it's no one's business what I do with a telephone or Internet. I'm going to start using the strongest possible encryption for all of my communications just hoping that they will waste their time to flag it and spend resources to decrypt and find out who I'm going out to dine with on any given night.

That's fine, my problem is with the hypocricy and treachery of the RATS that know this stuff and act like they don't. They know the Supreme Court precedents, it's their bible and then to forget echelon, able danger, and carnivore during Clintoon years that monitored actually content of conversations.

qwest has been outsourcing their business. ATT and IBM both overlap in their (qwest's) coverage areas. the qwest turn down to the the NSA in 2003 was by no means a guarantee of privacy
