kudos:14 | Loop length That's pretty sad. 4K feet? I only know of one person whose electrical loop length is less than 4K feet here in my city. Everyone elses is at least 8000 (and in my case, almost 13000, even thogh I'm 6000 physical feet from the CO).
Sadly this is one reason why cable wins out.

| I agree. A lot of people I know can get the AT&T Elite package (which I think is limited to 6500' now) , but that's because AT&T has deployed tons of remote terminals servicing DSL. The one person I know that actually got 6mbps ADSL direct from the CO, *barely* qualified, and for good reason, it barely hung on with a 9db noise margin.
4,000 feet is a really short leash. Glad to hear they're giving it a go though. Competition is always a good thing.

Valencia, CA | I live less than 2 blocks from a VRAD and RT, however, my tract isn't fed off them, so I'm listed at 12,300 line feet.

I'm about 12Kfeet loop length, and I sync at 2 to 3Mbps down with ReADSL2+ (ADSL2+ with a signal booster on both ends).
Maybe it's covad's next move...
