Important : Wireless networking devices use public radio chan-
nels to transmit voice and data communications. Although
WEP
is the standard security technology used today and offers some
degree of security, Qwest cannot guarantee the security, privacy,
or confidentiality of any transmissions made via such devices,
and Qwest makes no assurances or warranties relating to their
use by you. You are responsible for all use of your Qwest
DSL
ser-
vice, regardless of the source of a transmission, whether by you
or an authorized third party, over your Qwest
