Sorry to hear that. That does expose a number of places for a fault to
occur.  Do you experience high latency?  Is your throughput affected?

I imagine.  We did have an ATT DSL issue at my wife's business in Hill
Country Village, it took 2 weeks to get it up and running.  As
yesterday was its first functional day, we'll see how service is.
