[AT] Backing up tractor pictures and degenerating intoaramble.

[George Willer]

Phil,

Distance from the switching office isn't the only criterion.  I've tried 
repeatedly to get DSL but the two miles or less of 15 year old line to get 
the signal here is in such poor condition that it isn't possible.  It's 
irritating to see all the commercials encouraging the switch and always 
getting the same answer... We're not within the necessary area.  They've 
spent far more on advertising than it would take to repair the crappy !#$%^& 
lines.

See... I feel better already!
