I live in NYC yet I'm unable to get DSL. If I want broadband, my only choice is via Time Warner Cable.
Is that because your building management will only let TW in? If you can receive phone service from Verizon then you should be able to get DSL. You must be within 18k feet of a DSL equipped CO! I was not aware that any area of Queens did not have the equipment necessary to provide DSL, assuming you can get a POTS line of course.

PS. A great tool I just found on this site.

wifi4milez: Nah, I own my own house but the facilities aren't capable of delivering DSL.

Phattieg: Part of the FCC's stance is that there is plenty of competition for broadband services - I am simply pointing out that this is not the case. Its not just the sticks that lack a choice, but parts of major metropolitan areas as well.
