Indeed. I had 3 DSI guys in the same telco closet, each getting wildly different readings on the distance to the Central Office. One of the readings was over the distance limit, so they all concluded that the magnetic interferance from a nearby bard station would prevent all DSL service in the building! When we informed them that other companies in the building had DSL they told us there was a wire tap, and that it was PacBells problem. Of course, PacBell had visited the site two days eariler and Declared that there were no wire taps on the line, so the problem must have been DSI's.
Of, course, it is impossible to get them both in the same room at the same time.
I orded DSL last May and still haven't gotten it to work! They did start billing me though. When I contested the bill, they tried to shut off my phone service.
I am currently working through the complaint system of the California Public Utilities Commision (PUC). they aren't much better, but I think if evryone started complaining to them, we might get something done. Check out their complaint form to file a complaint.

Agreed, but with a monopoly like that, you are stuck with satilite or cable... I'll let you know how the Satilite thing works out..

Hope this helps.
