[outages] Qwest outage

[Jeremy Chadwick]

I've yet to see any of the major telco providers in the United States
actively monitor counters on any of their equipment (regardless of
capacity).  The modus operandi is "monitor nothing and wait until
customers complain".

I imagine Qwest operates similarly.
