Cable wires are about 100 feet away from my house (but the cable company wants nearly $8000 to hook me up...yeah right) Local telco says NO to DSL..not possible, wont work forget it..blah blah. Well, luckily I knew a guy who worked at a small ISP and "did away" with the phone number check and activated DSL service anyway. Guess what...it works FINE...and it has worked perfectly for 6 months! I think phone companies should at least give the option of TRYING dsl technology. If your 10 km away from the DSLAM, forget it. But if your up to 7 km and theres no line loaders or other limiting factors...keep pushing the ISP to TRY IT. maybe it will work. so what if its only 25% of the speed...ANYTHING is better than dial up. Dial up is almost an option they should od away with. As all websites are getting more and more data heavy with flash advertisments and so-on...you REALLY cant use dial up. well, I live 5.5 KM away from the phone exchange in my town.
