You are right! The final quote came in at $150 for ISP charges and $65 for
verizon charges/month. Not to mention the hardware cost. Not a good
alternative.
BUT - say a prayer for me! It looks like Quest will hook me up. 256/256
RADSL - $99/month - $79 for 2 year agreement. totaly free installation
including in house wiring to the site and a modem/router. I pay a one time
charge of $50 for 5 static IP's.
Very friendly and responsive so far.
How do these Web qualification programs work - Measuring loop distance
remotely. They all give different numbers. I suspect they are using
geographical distance. Which in my case is about right. The only other way
is if there is some built-in test at the switch. A TDR would tell you I
guess. I want to try a resistor across the line and look at voltage drop
and current and determine distance based on resistance assuming 26Ga.
