1 edit | Getting DSL
AT&T Direct says this for me:
"The line currently shows 45Kft from the CO and it does not appear to show an RT available at this time. Sent to the engineers to confirm records."
However my own homework shows that I'm actually 20Kft from the CO. What kind of distances/requirements are there for DSL? Can I get AT&T to come out here and check my situation out? (Off topic, if AT&T ever says yes, I'm totally getting the highest tier, no matter the cost. I'm paying $100 a month for satellite already.)

Wasteland | I believe the co cutoff distance is 14.5kft and the RT distance is 18kft. Pray the records are way off and it can be corrected. |

Yea you never know. Before i had dsl they told me my distance was 22000 plus feet from the co. Then their database changed it to 11000 some feet. I now have dsl pro package. |

It's because they're going by loop length not physical distance, which is the route your data over the line travels. It can be horridly inefficient. I'm sure there's some out that who have a DSL enabled CO right across the street from them and still can't either get DSL or are much much further away than they should be. |

Many times you can "physically" be across or down the street from the CO but be many thousands of feet by wire.
In your case, 20k feet is way too far anyway.
