I'm lucky I can get at least a 48000 connection. Ocassionally a 49333 conection. and
once-in-a-blue-moon a 50666 Connection.
I live about two miles from the main phone switching station in my city. The phone
lineman when setting up my connection found two quiet wire to make op the pair used
for my line. discovered there eas nothing on the line past those pairs so chopped the
line past my connection. So I am at end of the line and have queit connection.
