The Qwest CO is southeast of 370 & Fort Crook Road back in that neighborhood.
Specifically it's near Harlan Drive and Westridge Ave. If you go to Google and
look at the sat pics you'll see a building southwest of that intersection...
there's the CO. 

You can check for DSL availability by going here:

http://www.qwest.com/residential/internet/resaddressQual.html

and putting in your info. Note that the results should be taken with a grain of
salt, though...
