Yes, bottom line is you have to ask if your location can have DSL service
and it's not until it is actually provisioned and working that you will have
any idea what the download speed is.
Remember, this is all happening on a twisted cable pair designed to handle audio
300-3300cps
Don't get too excited !:)
