Heh...shoreview. All DSL-deployed CO's should be capable of it, it's just a distance issue. My parents house is less than two miles from the Rice St. CO, and they qualified for the 7M service. They moved from 640/256 to 1.5/1.0M and it works great. So you might be too many wire-feet from Rice and 694. Also, some new and clarified information for the group. This is from Qwest's MegaCentral page (for ISP's) 2/24/04 Qwest is introducing DSL without a telephone line, often referred to as naked DSL or as Qwest refers to it Standalone DSL (You think they would file for a tarrif approval on a product called "Naked DSL", with Powell and the FCC coming right off of the whole Janet Jackson fiasco? I think not!) $33/month $99 activation (but see promo) 1.5M Choice DSL Deluxe service ONLY Address loop qual process DMT only I misunderstood the CAP/DMT thing in one of Qwest's FAQs. It sounds like you will need to switch to DMT...below is what I read and you can see how I might have mucked it up: "Will current CAP customers qualify for the up to 1.5M service? There is a limitation on the CAP DSLAMs. Current CAP customers may qualify for the new up to 1.5M speed (I went stupid after this line), however they will need to switch to the DMT service if they want to receive the new up to 1.5M service. They may purchase a DMT modem for $59.99 or rent a DMT modem at $3/month. Current CAP customers are not required to change to DMT if maintaining current service." So they said some CAP customers do qualify for 1.5M speed (the part I read). Then they said that those CAP customers that want to switch to Choice DSL Deluxe need to move to DMT (which I didn't read <g>) The CAP standard supports the speed no problem, but CAP has more of a distance limitation than DMT (more specifically, DMT allows greater speeds over longer distances because it can tolerate worse line conditions).
