My employer (Linko Data Systems) has had Viawest DSL for over 3 months now, and our problems, too, have all been Qwest-related.  Yes, I'd have to say Viawest tech support is pretty decent (they _do_ know when to escalate the issue with Qwest).

I _do_ feel obligated to throw in my standard plug for _my_ ISP (Fairplay Communications - www.fpcc.net) - they also offer DSL in the same way (Qwest does the hardware side), and their tech support is pretty good (hi, Kirk!).
