How to Hook Up My Qwest Wireless Modem

Qwest Communications offers DSL Internet connections to most of its subscribers. DSL works over standard phone lines in order to bring you high-speed Internet access, by using a special modem that comes when you initially order DSL Internet from the company. Instead of paying a technician to install your DSL modem, you can set up your own installation and hook up your modem yourself with the Qwest installation kit.
