Yup.. AT&T will offer me 1.5/384kbps DSL-Extreme currently has me at 3008/512kbps @ ~12,000' (on AT&T's lines)
AT&T rewired part of my neighborhood, after Edison burnt the lines, and ran 6 pair between the curb (50 pair?) and my house.
Yeah, the internet part is gonna stay low so they can satisfy their video distribution (I hear). Most people get along fine on 1.5 but the upload is the issue for things like photo processing uploads and torrents.
