This so-called "engineering" is smoke and mirrors in this context, 
really.  It's just their provisioning database.  Nothing about the 
DSLAM's or any of the other equipment they're using requires dial-tone 
be on the line.

SDSL is good stuff, but expensive -- had Rhythms SDSL out near C-470 & 
Ken-Caryl Road years ago before they went under and I moved.

And... if PUC can't say that a non-regulated service can't require a 
regulated one be installed, then you're right... voting with my wallet 
will be the only way to go eventually.
