Bearing in mind that I am in the UK ! Your side of the pond could be
quite different !! My understanding is that once the exchange
(Central Office) has been converted to handle DSL then the whole area
becomes DSL active !
Weather or not your particular line allows you to access DSL or not is
determined by a switch at the exchange and a service provider assigning
an IP to it. A bit like assigning an IP to a MAC address.
