Re: Why bother

It might be good enough. QWEST told me for years that I was too far away to get DSL. One company even tried installing it on QWEST's equipment.

QWEST still thinks I can't get it. But I went to Earthlink and they installed it anyway. As long as I have something that looks like DSL, acts like DSL, and is called DSL by Earthlink, it doesn't matter what QWEST thinks.

Re: Why bother

Qwest is lazy. I am 16.2K ft from the CO. Qwest swore up and down that I could NOT get DSL. After fighting with them for a month, shooting my line (I maintain electronic equipment and phone lines for the USAirForce) testing for balance, dB loss, noise, and such I finally gave up trying to work with them. Started looking for a provider not allied with Qwest. Found Speakeasy/Covad. They got me up in no time. No matter how many times I tried to get Qwest to work on my line, even if I were willing to pay for the tech call/rollout, they wouldnt do it. I will not reccomend anyone in my area to go through Qwest.
