<title>Fluctuating Downstream SNR</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23378504</link>
<description><![CDATA[Is Downstream SNR the measure of signal quality FROM qwest to MY modem?   If so, why is there an 11dB fluctuation?  Here are my current stats, my downstream fluctuates between 15 and 26dB..... is this why my line is unstable for 5 or 7meg ?

<description><![CDATA[If you're using Qwest's VDSL2 service, how is it? Sales reps from other companies are telling me the service will be shaky, but I can't find any reviews since this service rolled out in July.]]></description>

<title>Slow speeds in Denver? (Congress Park area)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23149390</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,

My DSL had been working great up until about a week ago (might have been longer, but I was on vacation).   Right now I am downloading something that should be maxing my connection, but I am only getting 110-150 KB/s.  Previous to this, I would get a steady 700-800 KB/s.

Is anyone else in my area (Congress Park) experiencing similar issues?  I've tried power cycling the router, re-connecting, etc and nothing seems to fix it.   I will say that I haven't noticed a problem in the morning before I go to work.  Is there a possible congestion issue going on?

Thanks!]]></description>

<title>Actiontec GT704-WG Recovery for QWest (Link)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23338332</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was one of the poor souls that accidentally upgraded my GT704-WG to the latest QWest firmware for the GT701, which pretty much left me unable to connect.  

Installing the unbranded Actiontec drivers from the site worked fine for me, but didn't include the "Connection Status" on the front page of the gateway webpage.

I finally found my utility CD from the GT704-WG that includes the recovery for the QWest drivers.

This recovery will restore your firmware to version
QW04-3.60.2.0.6.3-GT704-WG

I found a few posts where people were trying to find this, so hope this helps.

<title>Intermittent DSL Service, PK5000 modem</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23359111</link>
<description><![CDATA[So, I recently moved, and set up new internet and got a new modem on the 12th of this month, and everything worked fine for 4 days.  Monday night, I started losing internet, very frequently, and as of last night, I could only keep an internet connection for 5 minutes if I was lucky.  I have a Qwest technician coming out this afternoon.  I used my sisters qwest wireless before I moved, and it worked beautifully, no problems, EVER.  Which is why when I moved I decided to go with qwest.

However it has become a nightmare.  The only reason I even have "high speed internet" is because I am an online gamer.  I tried the ping, and it was 100% loss, and the internet light on my modem will go off, but my network connections will say I'm still connected.  But I won't have a connection.  I don't have ANYTHING plugged into any other phone jacks in my house, no alarm system, NOTHING that would be a potential problem.  

Any one more computer savvy out there than me that could provide any kind of insight as to what the heck may be going on?  Was on the phone with tech support last night for an hour and she didnt tell me jack that I didnt already know or couldnt see was going on.  So very frustrating to pay for a service I can't even use.]]></description>

<title> slow speeds at times</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23250625</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have had Qwest Dsl 1.5 Mb for about 5 years. It works fine most of the time. I do have to reset my modem periodicly when it slows down and that seems to fix it. About once a year though the resetting does not fix it.My connection speed will go from staying at zero for a couple minutes to about 400-600 Mb max. So after a week or so I will call tech support to get the issue fixed. They of course tell me to reset the modem and check the lines etc. all of which does nothing. They eventually tell me that everythings fine on there end so there is nothing they can do. But this is where it gets weird. within the hour after I call them my connection just fix's itself. I would say it was a coincidence except this has happened at least 3 times. Anyone else experience this?]]></description>

<title>Consistently high packet loss - Level3.net</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23353828</link>
<description><![CDATA[Periodically, I have noticed that web pages are slow to load. Numerous line quality tests have shown high packet loss on several of the Level3.net routers (see links below to two test today). I have also noticed that one Qwest router consistently has packet loss.  A Qwest tech I asked about the Level3.net router problem said Qwest had nothing to do with this Level3.net and couldn't help me.  He suggested I call Level3.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Also, does Qwest use any other backbones besides Level3.net?  Lastly, how can this be remedied?  When I was with Comcast I never had consistently high packet loss like this.
