I do know that your distance from the sub station makes a big difference in your speed with DSL

DSL is very flaky. It's because of legacy POTS lines - old lines, different gage lines, bridges and taps on the lines, length of the loop, etc etc etc. It's a nightmare trying to get customers hooked up.

I left my job to go to UUNET because I was tired of being screamed at by irate customers, waiting 2 months for a hookup. My assistant sup and I started out taking turns taking the sup calls from the techs, then we started hiding to avoid the calls. :) I had daily migraines.
