| 10k ft shouldnt be an issue I am a tech for a large telco, 10,000 feet as the cable runs is not a problem at all for 3Meg DSL. I install it all the time. There could be other issues, bridge tap, inside wire issues, filtering issues, burglar alarm, etc. 90% of the problems I see with DSL lines are the customers inside wire or equipment, the signal is usually good up to the NID(Network interface) on the side of the house. The only other reason for you to be having problems is if that particular CO does not have some other newer DSLAM hardware that allows for longer loop lengths. I might suggest a professional install where a tech comes out and runs a new inside wire and jack to your modem and splits the dsl signal externally at the NID. This will negate any interferers introduced to the line from inside wire conditions and equipment. | |

@bellsouth.net | Re: 10k ft shouldnt be an issue Since you seem to lose your connection during or after storms there might be a line quality condition outside, I would suggest calling the repair service, not DSL tech support, and see if there are any noticeable line quality issues. | |

| Jefferson Customer is Right We have the same problem--pitiful speeds, apparently because of ATT/Bellsouth's inability to provide the wiring in our (Uptown/Carrollton) neighborhood. And we've done the technician thing: at least two techs have spent HOURS at our house trying to fix the problem, and even they finally gave up and suggested we resign ourselves to slow speeds. So we're changing providers this week--reluctantly--but we need better than 2MB. | |

clubs: | Why not switch to cable? Bellsouth / ATT has basically lost to Cox in New Orleans / Metairie / Kenner area. Its a done deal, why not just switch to cable, Its just the same crappy service but instead of 3 mbps I get 25 + mbps. | |
