Two years ago, when DSL first started becoming available to the average consumer, prices were a bit steeper. Not including monthly fees, ISPs used to charge hundreds of dollars just to enter the first month of service. What steers most consumers away from DSL is not the perception that it's an unnecessary extravagance, or its price. Instead, many of us have been turned off by the complications and mystery surrounding the process of ordering it and installing it. Before I take you through how your chances have improved, let's go over exactly what qualifying means.
Qualification is made up of a few pieces.
They ask for the location' s phone number and address, and evaluate how far you are from the CO that serves you. There are often several COs in a city. The answers you get from different ISPs can be inconsistent, if not discouraging. One ISP may say they don't serve your area. Be sure to distinguish this response from you don't qualify.
