[lug] DSL dies actiontek 1520

[j davis]

i know dsl phone filters are only to help with phone calls making
you un-train from your isp...but are you using your filters? ..
also qwest has given me at least 3 cisco678s and one time when
i called i was trained and online..hehe. But they just keep sending
them and in 12 months I have never seen any bougs charges on my bill
for the dsl modems. So...just tell them its broke and you need a new one.
Hopefull this could rule out hardware issues.

BTW...qwest just got me my promised $150 rebate on the modem i actually 
bought
from them just a hare over 6 months late..after like 10, hour long phone 
calls.
yea for me....i guess ??

qwest hater,
jd
