How do I change my DNS server?

Maybe it isn't specifically "Qwest" issue, but using a different provider showed that it isn't my computer or me that is the problem. Any network issue uplink of my DSL modem is their problem.

Iam in Salem Oregon and am having the same problems. Some of the videos dont load no matter what. I can reload the page 20 times and it just wont play.

The 2 videos you posted as having problems with wont load for me either.

I think Qwest routes its Salem customers through Portland, so maybe there is a problem at their Portland POP?

You know something, I've been having issues with Youtube as well. But my overall surfing experience has been complete crap the last few days. Qwest's own speedtest shows I'm running well 6.1up/765 down on a 7/896 connection. But all of the dslreports speed tests are showing 1.1down or less and 555 up or less ...

I'm in Vancouver, WA.

Dear Mr. Swartz:

Thank you for contacting me with your support for net neutrality. I appreciate hearing from you.

You may be interested to know that in the 109th Congress, I introduced S. 2360, the Internet Nondiscrimination Act of 2006. This legislation would have protected network neutrality by prohibiting network operators from charging companies for faster delivery of their content to consumers over the Internet or favoring certain content over others. It also would have made certain that consumers are allowed to choose which devices they use to connect to the Internet. However, it still would have ensured that network operators can continue to protect subscribers against unwanted spam, spyware, viruses, pornography and other nefarious content. Unfortunately, this legislation was not acted upon before the 109th Congress adjourned. I intend to reintroduce similar legislation in this Congress.

In the 109th Congress, many of my colleagues sought to make telecommunications reforms that would update our laws to account for modern technologies and environments. Unfortunately, the major reform legislation, H.R. 5252, that Senate leadership supported did not include strong network neutrality protections into law. Because I believe that no reform legislation should pass without these protections, I placed a procedural hold on the bill. This hold informed my colleagues of my intent to filibuster the legislation if it came to the Senate floor for consideration. I am pleased to inform you that this hold was a success, and the 109th Congress ended without the Senate passing telecommunications legislation that did not include strong net neutrality protections.

It may also please you to know that I am an original cosponsor to the Internet Freedom Preservation Act, S. 215. This legislation would protect network neutrality by defining precisely what network neutrality is and what actions are considered a breach of network neutrality. Currently, this legislation has been referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation where it awaits further action.

Please be assured, as the 110th Congress considers telecommunications reforms, I will keep your views in mind. Again, thank you for keeping me apprised of issues that are important to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I may be of assistance.

Sincerely,

Ron Wyden
United States Senator
