I've never used an Actiontec 1520, but I have experienced the *poof*
syndrome.  My former neighbor and I both used Cisco 678's.  He used Qwest
for his ISP and I used a different ISP.  My neighbor would sporadically
loose his connection requiring him to reboot the modem and I never
experienced this with a different ISP.

That being said, I can confirm that customers with Cisco routers are
having the same problem with Qwest.  It might not be the router...

That's just my $.02
