Re: [availability] To far from the CO
Since Verizon said you are too far you are pretty much out of luck. There is a Range Extended version of ADSL2+ that push wire distance another few thousand feet. But Verizon is not marketing them as far as I know.
Are there any CLECs offering DSL in your area? They may be able to push distance a little more the Verizon is interested in. May want to check with State Public Utilities Commission. While DSL is unregulated they may have info on ISPs and CLECs providing service in your area.
Have you though about using ISDN? You can bond both channels for 128/128 kbps service. Adapter is automatic so you can still use it for voice. When voice line is in use speed drops to 64/64 kbps. Some ISP offer something called IDSL which is data only version that uses ISDN signalling that speed is 144/144 kbps. Being truly digital service latency is good, given the relatively low speed.
