Re: Home repair?
If you are really 22000 feet from the CO, then you shouldn't even have DSL in the first place. That distance is too far by any standard to have reliable DSL and greatly exceeds AT&T's distance cut off limits.
A high open can also be on AT&T's portion of the wire pair and not just your inside wiring. |

| Yeah I know, my speeds are only 180kbps with att. That's the problem I have because getting cable is too expensive and I don't need speeds that high, but having DSL my speeds can only top out at 250kbps. I'm at two extremes with speeds, either I get 250kbps with DSL or 5000 with cable, there's nothing in-between and that's what I need.
Anyway, I've had 3 ISPs in the last 2 years and it's been the same problem so once again another reason for inside wiring. Let's not forget this house was built in the 50's and I have no idea how old the wiring is. |

| need to run a new inside line strictly for the DSL and have them install a NID and splitter. this will eliminate the other inside wiring and solve some issues. but at 22k feet, you will likely never be perfect.
