Check with someone at a CLEC DSL provider - Qwest will tell you don't
qualify if they currently can't provice service, but I've heard of
numerous instances (and experienced a few myself) where New Edge or Covad
could get DSL in when Qwest couldn't. If you want to try New Edge their
resold by FRII and have a direct retail arm (TransEdge). I'm going with
the latter, have been impressed by their technical bent and can get you a
contact address/number there. It's always amusing to get an ARIN IP space
form with your agreement...
