Hey all, I was trying to order DSL for a friend's company yesterday and I thought you all might like to hear the story.
First, since the company uses Ameritech phone lines, I thought I'd start there. Checked their website but it was too far. Verified distance problems with DSLReports.com and quickly gave up on that option. Second, neither of the local cable companies provided cable to the location due, I think, primarily to the fact that it's a commercial area. Thirdly, started looking into wireless offerings from some local companies when I came across an ISP who said they could provide DSL to the area. I checked their website, sure enough, they provide DSL over Ameritech lines, so I was quite skeptical. Call the ISP and asked if DSL really is available at the address in question. They said "yes it is". I asked "how it was possible that you can provide DSL over Ameritech lines but Ameritech can't?" The salesman said, and I quote, "because we have more powerful equipment." My instinct is telling me to stay as far away from them as possible but I'm REALLY curious. Do you all think I should follow my instincts or should I pursue a relationship with them (until they realize they can't provide what they promise)?
