I have had two local carriers call me (I forget the name -- they directed me to a web site in another state). They claimed to be local, but actually were not. When I asked how they could do it they said they lease lines from QWest. Further, QWest will do the actual repairs, they will just be the middleman for the scheduling. Well, if anybody out there has dealt with line repair issues for Northpoint, Covad or Rythms, you know that this is not a good thing.
