Abso-friggin-lutely.  The same can also be said for almost any ISP.

At work one of my co-workers has QWeset DSL.  Works great, with one
small detail... QWest configured her Cisco 678 DSL modem to be a NATing
firewall (she gets 10.0.0.0/24 on her PC).

Not a major problem for most home users, but if you're trying to get a
IPsec VPN setup working (or even something simple like ssh) it makes for
unnecessary complications.
