Currently operating 14 states, Qwest provides local phone, long distance and DSL high speed Internet. The company originally started as a way to provide businesses with high speed data lines using fiber lines laid along the southern Pacific Railroad tracks. When Southern Pacific became a part of Union Pacific Qwest took advantage of the new lines and laid more fiber cable. While laying line for MCI, Qwest took advantage of the opportunity and laid its own cable at the same time.

Building on that expansive network, Qwest began to acquire several local phone companies, Internet providers, and web hosting companies. Ever the innovator, in 2004 Qwest became the first telecom to offer stand alone DSL service. You could purchase DSL only, that's DSL high speed Internet without a telephone line.

Qwest provides telephone service and high speed Internet access throughout the country.
