Ha! It took them 30 days just to get my second line installed. And I've
never gotten connected at anything higher than 24000 bps, usually 22000
bps, and then I get disconnected about every 15 minutes. On my main line,
which is supposed to be my voice line, I can connect at 45000 bps, but
I still get disconnected every 30 to 45 minutes.

I'm trying to get DSL as well, from Northpoint. 60 days and counting so far.
Northpoint says they can usually get you up and running in 30 days. 
Ameritech came out after about 35. Then northpoint had me connected to the
wrong port in the CO. After that, they found problems with Ameritechs
line. That was the last status I've heard, and it's been three weeks. Every
time I call Northpoint, they say that they have a call in to Ameritech. 
Nothing ever gets resolved.

Time Warner is shooting for second quarter for cable modem in my area. I
suspect that I will not have DSL yet, so I'll tell them to take a hike and
tell Time Warner to hook me up. Of course, last time I had a cable modem,
it took them about 3 days from when I signed up for them to come out and
get me downloading at 960 Kbps. It's cheaper than DSL and about 4 times
as fast.
