Who is the ILEC? if its a well populated area it would only take a DSLAM in your "hut" or phonebox or what not out on the street to service up to 33,000 line feet or so from it (plants fed from it). DSL can be extended beyond 33,000 line feet easily, but it requires digital connections in the huts/phoneboxes out on the street back to the CO (thats what the DSLAM does). DSL here is available pretty much county wide, there are 26 DSLAMs (last I counted) in our county and 2 COs. Until the ILEC is interested or allows an interested CLEC space in a hut or box out on the street, you are SOL though so I would start calling your ILEC to ask "when" and not "if" :-) Jim -- EsisNet.com Webmail Client _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
