Umm..but doesn't having a Digital Subscriber Loop imply they really do have DSL infrastructure in the area? At the switching office they probably have a DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Loop Access Multiplexer). Those are used on the other end of a DSL modem connection. (DSLAM definition taken from http://public.pacbell.net/faq/dsl_faq.html) Perhaps you meant to say they have load coils or are beyond the 12-18k feet range? http://www.dslreports.com/information/kb/load+coil >modem, either. Verizon refused to switch me to an analog loop, and even >they cannot provide me with DSL. I really hate Verizon even more, didn't >think that was possible. Are there any wireless ISPs (WISPs) in that area? Any coffee shops with wifi? (Think high gain directional antenna...)
