It's not about DSL it's about being quick on the draw.
One might think so, but that didn't seem to be the case - at least not for me. I pre-typed "YO" (what's required to be recognized) long before it was asked for and sent it the instant it was asked for, but I never got through quick enough to be in the group quick enough to ask a question. Obviously my lag time was, well, lagging behind.
I am really surprised with such low prices why you don't have DSL. They are really competitive now.
It's not always about price. In some places you can't GET the DSL package you want.
This is exactly true. A few years back I tried to get DSL from a provider only to discover there were no openings for any new connections in the local hub. And last year, despite hearing terrible stories about their service, I foolishly believed my experience with them might be different, so I tried to get Verizon only to go through a month of shear hell with them that finally ended up with me telling them that I wouldn't want Verizon DSL even if they paid me to use it. And since then I've contacted several local area providers, but the story is always the same: there aren't any openings in the local hub for new connections. I'm currently on a waiting list with three different providers. But unless several people suddenly up and cancel their service, it looks like I'm going to have a long wait because I'm not the first name on any of the lists...
