DSL Gotcha

[Shawn Tayler]

One other point to the DSL Gotcha.  This wire length from the CO is mythical.  Used to really 
rip off us poor saps in the country.  It includes any fiber thats inline.  ATM on fiber really
doesn't matter the distance.  Its the transition to copper thats the killer on DSL.  I'm 17,800ft 
from the "downtown CO", not the closer one in Sparks.  SO I can't have DSL.   But I'm only
5000ft of copper from the fiber drop that feeds my area.  But I still can't have DSL, because they 
don't want to put ATM on the fiber, plus all the extra equipment.  Its all fine, I got a frac Tee
for an amount alot higher than DSL or Cable, but they don't care what I do with it. Http or Mail 
is not an issue like you get elsewhere.  

But the distance thing is a farce....
