Hello Derek, A couple of quick comments on your issues ... 1. The DSL performance and reliability has been bad so far by US West. About 50% of the people I know who have tried to get it couldn't. 2. The problems in Sandy (the affluent area) are related to the newer design and installation. I was told by a US West tech that Sandy has more "modern" equipment installed which is digital out to the curbs in neighborhoods. This means that the copper is the last several hundred feet to homes, but only a dozen or so homes connect to each curbside box. This means they can't get the port density that they need to make DSL cost effective in these locations. (Recently the same tech indicated that a fix has been designed, but it will take time to roll out.) 3. Call TCI! If you visit tci.net and go to the link to "Contact TCI" you can call their 888 phone number (or e-mail) and get on the list. TCI has said that if enough people request service in the Salt Lake City area they might have cable modems working by the end of the year. ;-) Scott C. Lemon
