Bear in mind that the financial situation at Qwest is bad.
Isn't that partially due to deals with Enron on which they
misrepresented sales numbers?

We certainly know from experience that a major financial upheaval can
affect operations at least indirectly (loss of management attention,
budget cuts, deferred maintenance, cutbacks in monitoring and response
systems, etc.).  On the other hand, it's not a good idea to overreact
to news like this.  So I would proceed with due caution concerning Qwest
transit.  As a wise person once said, don't put all your routes in one
pipe.
I wouldn't touch Qwest, based on the Enron issue, if nothing else.
