You may be able to demand that pacbell requalify the line. It's not impossible that after the initial installation damage occurred to the pair that serves your DSL either from rodents, technicians, or weather. If the deficiency is in your customer owned wiring the cost for repairs is usually up to you. As has been noted, cheap CAT-5 is everywhere these days and this cable -- even if not perfectly terminated -- should be able to carry dsl for short distances through your house. Even waxed string works (for VERY short distances). Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
