And among other things, these loading coils need to be removed in order for DSL to work. Necessary, generally speaking, but not sufficient. Distance has to be right. No 'bridge taps'. No other equipment in the lines, often used to solve other problems.

Getting DSL to work in the first place took a lot of very talented engineers.

And some of them are pretty good woodworkers (he says, trying to bring some topicality to the thread again.)

Hope the cable modem works well for you, Dave.

And another dillusion about netzero on the "5x" faster thing is it makes one think that also means the speeds of software downloading, nope. same as

56k and slower. I got cable.

just for the sake of argument, did you use the same phone cord you were using before? if you tried it it right where it comes to the house, with two different phone cords, with all the rest of the house wiring disconnected and only the one connection going to the modem, i think you can be sure its not inside. if you only used one phone cord i think that cord is still suspect..
