Yes it would.  Time to write to the PUC and ask them to make Qwest 
define "excessive" on a circuit DESIGNED and advertised at a certain speed.

This kind of crappy "engineering by changing the rules" drives me nuts.

If DSL transport is a regulated service, I'll be writing a letter.  Only 
takes everyone 5 minutes to make the dumb wording of this go away 
permanently.

The e-mail address is, puc at dora.state.co.us -- or 
http://www.dora.state.co.us/puc/ for more info.

Either tell us the limitations of the circuit up-front, or don't sell 
the service and give someone else with half a clue access to the copper 
in the ground.  Idiots.
