Actually higher speeds were available to me and I am on VDSL but sales would not sign me up without a tech visit, even though theoretically they support self-install up to 12mb profile (18 and higher with pro). I guess some locations have very old twisted pare and they dont wanna oversell tier only later to receive complaints. Don't remember if they wanted to charge for a visit, but I refused and went with 6 as I had no time to be at Illinois to deal with this.

Mac Bridger Late to the party Premium join:2001-01-11 West Newton, PA Reviews: ·Cricket Broadband ·Comcast	Verizon is the same deal. I am in an area that will be one of the last ever upgraded. I supposedly can get 3.0 Mbps DSL. The problem with that is that the copper here is so old it won't even support 56k dial up over pots. In fact, my line has so much attenuation that adding more than 2 ringers to the line causes pots to drop. So much easier to go to Comcast. -- Fight Cancer! Join DSLR's Team Discovery

BosstonesOwn join:2002-12-15 Everett, MA Reviews: ·Comcast	Exactly the same which happened here, I have recently been looking for a dsl provider to help cut costs but there just isn't any here because the copper here is so old and neglected. I love how we spouted off about this for the past 5 years since fios started and now it's hurting the investors bottom line and they will complain about it, sorry but Im not going capped wireless, at this point i have even dumped some value added services on verizon wireless to get away from verizon. Tired of when a ceo has a vision and has a direction for the future the boards of this country dump them instead of embracing the future. We can not all live only for today we need to start developing for the future.
