I worked DSL tech support.

Go out to DSLreports.com it is a great web site that gives some good info on the basic differences between DSL and highspeed cable.

The big factor for DSL is distance from you central office. If you have a lot of buildings (i.e. Factories, power plants, tv anttena is in the imediate area it can cause problems with EMI interference, but other than that if you are about 15000 cable feet from you central office it should work fine. It is very stable, and consistant in speed. If you have any specific questions let me know.

Thank you very much.

PAC BELL tried to hook me up last year but I guess they couldn't get a good signal...apparently I was too far from the source. I may try again this week, as we had some rain yesterday which caused the service to be down all day.
That, I cannot afford during a work week. Since SBC took over Pac Bell, I don't know whether the service has improved or not.

Thank you for the offer. I just may be getting back to you before the week is out.

Kelly
