said by iansltx:I'm running on 22AWG or better wire at 20.6 kfeet. A stretch to be sure, but theoretically DSL would work. I'm still trying to get Verizon to try lighting up the line and sending a modem just on the off chance that I can get *something*. 1 Mbps down and 384k up would be amazing (this is back home where I don't have Comcast 22/5).
Heck, if line conditioning was needed, I'd be fine paying $40 per month for the first year to cover that stuff.
So far, I can't get those blazing speeds, which annoys the crap out of me.
Also, if Verizon says fast DSL will burn down my place, the only way they'd be able to do that is by installing a modem with really high current draw. Gotta love aluminum wiring...I have friends with 7 Mbps DSL from Qwest and their apartment is perfectly fine. Not even smoldering
That's because Qwest is nothing but smoke and mirrors.
