Re: Can we shift that to Arkansas? Amen! Can we also shift that half way across the U.S. (to Arkansas), and see what it does?
I just switched ISP's today. I am with DicksonStreet.com (Dickson Street On-Line, a local ISP.) I get 200 hours for $19.95 a month. I shared my dad's last account (with the U of A, and got 80 hours for free, if you work for the U of A). They only offer dial-up, but have plans to offer Wireless Access with in the next month. God I hope they do offer wireless.
I want DSL! |

The fact that they have developed it gives me some hope that they are at least trying to get a good handle on where their deployment problems are. And no, I don't want a map. I know where they are around here. |

Anon | I live just south of Little Rock (3 miles south of Baseline road on Arch Street) and even without seeing your map, I figure the closest it comes to me is 1500 feet.

You're gonna be flooded with requests for maps, you know that, don't you?  So, if SWBell has this handy technology all available, is it still "plug and pray" like the article says, or are they actually getting more accurate at doing prequals?
On a related note, does anyone know how GTE/Verizon's site (»www.gte.com/dsl/) does that prequal?
(Oh, and can I have a map of 75006? *duck*  Actually, I'd like one, but not if it causes problems, which it apparently does) |

Warren, NJ | I tried the Verizon prequal with both my home and office phone numbers. Got this message:
"The Number Entered May Not be in Verizon's Service Area"
Perhaps I should write that response on my next set of Verizon telephone bills. Been paying BA or Verizon for 15 years. Never noticed that I wasn't getting phone service! |

Redmond, WA | Well, if you went to the address I listed, remember that GTE and Bell Atlantic just merged ... the GTE site still probably only covers the original GTE DSL service areas, even though it now says Verizon all over it. Just a thought.
(Ever noticed that DSL in the post preview is highlighted as being spelt wrong?) |

Regret what? Thanks for the pic. I had a good feeling I knew what the pic would look like. I did not think there would be so much green, I thought there would be a little speck of green with the rest of pic made of yellow and red. Once again, thanks. |

Re: Can we shift that to ohio (44070) How do I get to see my area? 44070? Is this GIS tool from Ameritech something that everyone can use or is it only for SBC people? I wonder if there is anywhere to see where new development is going.. and future projected dsl availablilty for SBC.. as you can tell by the Nick I have Ameritech. I have got alot of people in my area with DSL and there is this funny box that is huge on my pole out in the front yard that is new and there was trucks laying what I think was fiber about a month ago on the pole as well.. THey were all over the place. |
