Moreover, I do not know if I am on a DSLAM/SLAM/remote/central office, but I do know that there is a big Bell building (in a residential area, with no parking lot) less than a kilometer from my location (15 minutes walk). That is what I am assuming to probably be a central office.
Again, I appreciate your insight into this situation. I am not looking to blame anyone. I simply wish to find the most efficient solution (even if it is a bit roundabout) to my current problem.
I am currently looking into the redflagdeals.com link by Calmuser, which seems promising.
