I had Qwest for 3 years. The only latency issue I had was where a 50ms delay just hopping into their system.
I consider that to be a huge latency issue. This happens in Seattle also. 50ms /minimum/ ping to anywhere is outrageous.
The peering issue is even bigger, though, imho.
Admittedly, my measly 256k/256k allotment didn't stress anything out there, maybe that is why it worked good for me? And when I did a TR on this or that site, it didn't make the hops your a describing. Most of my traffic hopped up to Seattle, and from there to the rest of the world with minimal hops. Where are you located?
I'm in Seattle.
Qwest actually had peering in the past in Seattle and then dropped it. As I said no major NSP now peers with Qwest here which is a serious problem. InterNAP also used Qwest in the past as one of its NSPs and dropped it.
