We tend to forget that DSL is an amazing trick to get high speeds on very old POTS circuits that were never intended to carry anything over 2KHz. The technology was delivered with a clear statement that it would work for many people, but there were a bunch of things that would degrade or defeat it. If your particular situation hits one of those roadblocks you are SOL. I think most the the DSL horror stories occur in marginal situations. The provide is taking a risk when they do not tell the customer to go away. It is hard to tell a customer to go away. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
