When Qwest started building infrastructure for DSL, SDSL wasn't available.  
They chose their RADSL, which committed them to a whole lot of equipment
and other infrastructure aspects. Also, as someone else mentioned, they
had to bet on what people would be interested in, and ADSL offers the
ability to run voice & DSL on the same line. That will certainly make the
difference in selling it to most people in my area, and probably in
general.

What makes you think Qwest can afford to stay in business if they willy
nilly go chasing after all these special interests who make up a very tiny
portion of their market (i.e., LUGers)? Isn't that what Covad did, and now
they're leaving those same customers out in the cold?
