Yes, you can "fail to connect" if peak time is in effect and there are more 
Joe Sixpacks out there trying to log on than there are DSLAM ports available.

Peak to Peak Internet www.peakpeak.com   offers both the Select and Deluxe 
grades of service for DSL, but the cost is the same for service.  The US 
West DSL circuit cost is all that differs.  At some point we may offer 
metered DSL service but the demand would have to be there to support it.

The Deluxe service is still the way to go.
