Personally I don't think it's an unfair question, however, I would think
that it is bad business for Qwest to make that their standard practice.
Something like this would probably go much further:
Hello,
I'm a sales droid from Qwest. I'm wondering who you are using as your
network provider, as Qwest has some very exciting opportunities that we
think you would be able to take advantage of. If you'd like more
information about our services, please reply to this email or give me a
call at the number below.
Thank you for your time,
Mr. Droid

Am I the only person here who doesn't think it's very intrusive of someone
to send an email asking "who is your network provider?"
I mean, for Pete's sake, it's five words, and it's something any of your
customers could ask you.
If one of them walks up and asks that, do you spit in their face, or just
punch them? Maybe call the police and have them ejected for trespassing?
Jeez, just hit "delete" and go on with your life.
