The system came back and said your address is not eligible for FiOs (because its not installed yet) OR DSL.<br />Ditch it and get money backTomDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849663301098055471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180866727593640279.post-28543133838637812642010-10-03T10:04:53.487-07:002010-10-03T10:04:53.487-07:00its true that 20,000 is a lot of distance for DSL....its true that 20,000 is a lot of distance for DSL. any kind of dsl variation<br />Here is a table (just independent site, not verizon's table)<br /><br />1st, I hope they sold you slowest speed. I'd hate to see you charged for higher speeds that you will never reach.<br /><br />Are your phones all filtered with the filter gadget?<br /><br />Do you still have a computer going with a 56KBS modem? Disconnect and see how it does.<br /><br />If you don't have all phones filtered and someone is talking that will have severe impact.<br /><br />How was sound quality on phones in your house before DSL? If staticky, then noise from either inside or outside lines might be issue. that works in the DSL range<br /><br />Perhaps, at that distance, DSL is not for you. Otherwise, FiOS or cable.<br /><br />IF any above tips don't work, and verizon won't fix it, demand money back. You're only a little over 56 KBS modem there<br /><br />I wouldn't have thought they'd sell you this unless they had some amplification in place to get your signal to them<br /><br />Distance<br />In Feet comment<br />less than 5000 You will have little trouble getting all speeds of DSL<br /><br />5000-10600 You may have trouble getting the highest speeds on offer<br /><br />10600-15000 The danger zone for DSL from national CLECs like Covad and NorthPoint. Speeds on offer are pinned back steadily until they reach 192k for 15,000 feet. If your line is longer than around 15000 feet, they may not accept an order.<br /><br />15000-18000 In this range, Telco ADSL is normally still available, although it may be restricted to 300-500k speeds<br /><br />18000-22000 Telco ADSL is not available, although in a few areas, RADSL may be a product you can get. RADSL is speed-variable.<br />Some smaller DSL specialist CLECs may have solutions for you.<br /><br />22000-28000 Using less commonly used DSL equipment, it is still possible to use lines of this length.<br /><br />18000-28000 IDSL is an alternative or possibly the only alternative. IDSL is 144k/sec, about four-six times modem speed.<br /><br />28000-38000 IDSL is the only alternativeTomDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849663301098055471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180866727593640279.post-85163554473780175442010-10-03T07:25:20.652-07:002010-10-03T07:25:20.652-07:00What the Verizon computer guys have said is...What the Verizon computer guys have said is, "DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE 20,000 FEET FROM THE NEAREST VERIZON STATION! 20,000 FEET IS A LOT OF DISTANCE!"Peter J.
