True. If you are too far out for DSL, you'll presumably be getting the old T1 signaling all the way.

If you are doing month-to-month billing, there will also be an installation charge. Finally, there is no way to force them to use the actual T1 wires for your DSL service. I never put this to the test, but back in my ISP days, I was told that callerID required a clean line. Verizon would clean up the wires to make callerID function. The wires would then be suitable for DSL. However, you are a long way from the Lebanon Central Office (603-448-xxxx looks like Lebanon based service). The only way they could make DSL work would be to provision it from a SLC. I am not sure they are willing to do that. Possibly the gear Verizon has been using in SLC's doesn't support DSL. > > I'm sure my neighbors would eagerly split the cost of a month's T1 > with me. :) > > -Bill > > ----- > Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.667.4000 > BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 603.252.2606 > http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Page: 603.442.1833 > Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ > VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf > -- Lloyd Kvam Venix Corp _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
