Actually Qwest says existing CAP customers can qualify for the faster speeds - but if you order it and you don't, they will let you move to DMT (but you'd have to get a new modem). I did hear at one point that someone was able to get a 678 DMT image to work on the 675 by compressing it - but it sounded complicated and dangerous, and you're probably better off just dropping the $99 on an actiontec.
