The Qwest® Network puts dependable global communication within your reach. With Qwest, you receive access to one of the largest, most technically advanced voice and data networks in the world ensuring you can stay in touch, anytime and anywhere.

For years, Qwest’s state-of-the-art IP network has been transferring voice, video, and data across the globe for businesses of all sizes. The Qwest network has the capacity and advanced capabilities to support today’s mission critical applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP), as well as bandwidth-intensive business applications such as Enterprise Resource Planning, Customer Relationship Management, and other business-to-business functions. These business applications require a network that is flexible to be tuned to your exact specifications for reliability, performance, and service.

From a technical perspective, the Qwest OC-192 IP network backbone is engineered for minimal packet loss and network congestion. MPLS fast re-route is used between every core router in the network ensuring a quicker recovery time over synchronous optical network (SONET). Networking Ports are available from 56 Kilobits per second (Kbps) to 2.4 Gigabits per second (Gbps). While the Qwest public and private peering arrangements are extensive (86 Gbps per second utilizing 99 percent private connections), cold potato routing (Qwest transmits customer traffic on the Qwest network for as long as possible) virtually eliminates most of the latency issues faced by other service providers. The Qwest OC-192 IP network is one of the most advanced networks available, offering best–in–class service level agreements and some of the highest customer access speeds in the industry today.
