Will Porting process disconnect my DSL?

[magichael]

I currently have both my home phone service and DSL through Qwest. I just read a review on Amazon saying to beware that once the port is accomplished, the phone company disconnects both the phone and the DSL! Is there a way to do the port and have Qwest cancel only their phone service, so that I have no interruption in my DSL service?

Another side-question. I checked on another phone number (541-995-xxxx) and the tool said it was not available to port. Does this mean it is DEFININTELY not available, or MAYBE not? This prefix is only 20 miles away from the prefix I am currently porting.

Thanks.

I just replied to the Amazon review on porting with DSL -- I'd check out the following KB article:

Also, it doesn't look like right now we can port to 541-995, but sometimes the support team can ask our carrier group to see if we can support porting to those areas.

Thanks,
Bobby

Thanks for the info about DSL and porting.

Also, can you put in a request to check on the 541-995-xxxx porting possibility? Thanks.
