Choice Deluxe is the 1.5/1.0M option.  I'm not sure what they're calling
the service w/o the phoneline, but everyone else is calling it "naked"
DSL (heh - DSL does Dallas).  Maybe you can call your Qwest rep and ask
them if you can cancel your phone service and keep the DSL, since they
now have that as a tariff'd product?  They didn't send us any details on
the procedure, just the notice that it was going to be available.

You can probably work directly with VISI to get everything done, as they
should be able to place the necessary orders with Qwest on your behalf. 
Or you can work solely with Qwest.  The ISP end doesn't care whether
there's dialtone service or not.  And if you upgrade to the Choice
Deluxe service, the ISP will get a notice from Qwest with the new
speeds, so they can make any necessary changes on their side to support
it (move you to the correct ATM vc-class, for instance, if needed).
