Stole this from AOL thread.

<<<-ATT cannot offer ADSL because they do not have the last mile.
<<This is also untrue. Anyone who can go jump through the right hoops <<and follow the right procedures can become a DSL isp. You may debate whether that is "fair", but it is true. Currently ATHM provides DSL service in cooperation with Northpoint as part of it's @work division.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Eric, this afternoon 2 ATT reps came by and whacked several cents off my phone bill, formerly GTE. If they can sell local calls, why can't they do DSL as well? "Just" some provisioning in the CO which they must have access to.I realize they would not just offer it to me but rather the loop that is is provisioned for, but GTE is offering me DSL right now. 364kps @ $40 per/mo.so the upgrades are in place. D.H.
