kudos:2 | Tried to get Covad DSL... ... and Covad said I couldn't get it. I know GTE and Verizon both said I was too far (20K ft.).
Doyou think this new ADSL2+ will work for me? |

Farmington, MI | I think you're confusing ADSL2+ with fiber.

Wow, I think that was the same guy from two/three years ago when I last signed up. Too bad I can't afford a T1.  |

The problem is that you wont be able to get prequalified at the loop length. 17000 feet is usually the cut off. You could try Earthlink and see what they say. I have run into cases where they will go ahead with the install but the service is "best effort". |

I have run into cases where they will go ahead with the install but the service is "best effort". EarthLink, MM Internet, etc. all said no a few years ago.
FYI from a couple members on this Web site about my DSL availabilty:
From Slide... on 1/24/2005:
"Total line make-up comes up to be 20363 cable feet.3 load coils and 7.5 DB loss at 1khz. Looked at your local CO and the Hub CO CLLI and there does not seem to be a remote or overlay there to shorten the length in your area... This was from the main one Verizon uses for DSL, ISDN and HI Cap circuits. It breaks down your line and gives me the loop makeup plus it tests for bridge taps, coils and line attenuation."
2/27/2005 13:56:33 from tim: "Line #1-20300 ft, Line #2-21100 ft.

Funny, that others and I still get flyers about DSL. Sheesh. |
