| Maybe..... Maybe the wiring is too old or no longer meets code requirements? I know some houses still have paper insulated copper phone lines, and they cannot get DSL above a certain speed due to the heat generated by loading from usage... A few of the people i know who own these 1700's and 1800's era houses got FIOS to totally bypass the existing wiring with the cat5 cable.

kudos:1 | I dont think houses had phone service in the 1700s or 1800s... |

| No, but the houses that got phone service first were the ones in the middle of town, the oldest part, hence old wiring being present in some houses, even ones turned into businesses. In some cases they decided to simply disconnect the old coper & run new copper, leaving the old lines in place.

DSL has no kick to it.
Reason DSL would not work would have nothing to do with any imaginary heat. |
