    The second link below points to a news article containing a quote that said:
    
    '"We are solely dependent on Qwest DSL for our Internet connection, and if
    it goes down, we don't have a business," said Doug Colbeck, president of the
    outdoor recreation site Trails.com...'"
    
    What's funny is that one of the IP addresses sending the Code Red II worm to
    my Apache server was the Trails.com site. Their server itself was infected
    with Code Red II. And they want to complain about Qwest? I guess we have to
    find someone to blame...

    There were some stories cited on whitehats (http://www.whitehats.com) on
    some mom and pop businesses that lost their network because qwest
    blocked port 80.
