Re: I think Qwest is blocking YOUTUBE

Looks like your ISP (Tierpoint) has a direct connection to Google's network. So it's probable that you'll encounter very few -- if any -- issues with Youtube or other Google-operated sites.

Yeah, Webband is just the consumer ISP wing of Tierpoint.

They have serious connectivity though...Qwest is only one of them.

Multiple Providers/Redundant & Diverse Routes

We provision bandwidth and connectivity from multiple providers, including AT&T, Qwest, Global Crossing, Savvis, Time Warner, Integra, XO Communications, Columbia Fiber, SGN, Pacific Northwest GigaPOP, 360 Networks, NoaNet, One Eighty Networks, and others. Most of these providers are setup on physically diverse paths. This insures your business service without disruptions.

I pay extra over the PFL $30-odd bucks for my Qwest bill, but it's well worth it. I know it doesn't help the OP, but just providing some perspective.
