That is really cool - but why weren't other ISPs given fair warning. It appears to me that USWest.net is one of the few providers in town giving the bandwidth. Nobody else had a chance to open up their pipes. Haven't lawsuites in the past taught Quest that perhaps it is a good idea to err on the side of caution, and in this case, tell the ISPs that they are going to open the pipe?
