FlashCom won't give you DSL as I understand it AND GTE is too far from you. That is the way DSL is when it comes to distance of copper.

When I say "they" in regard to moving things closer I don't mean GTE in particular. A DSL company like Covad, Northpoint or some other one will at some point go for that area of the market. When we talk about a Central Office (CO) we aren't talking about a building. We are talking about something the size of a large contractor's tool box for a pickup truck, or something the size of a large refrig.

IDSL is spec'd for 24,000 feet. It's a 144kbps service at that distance. GTE should be able to offer it to you.
