The actual testing itself should be straightforward; I think the communication
is the hugest problem.  You've got these fairly new DSL providers trying to put
sales, marketing, professional cooperation and.... oh, yes, tech service all
together and make it work NOW, and there are bound to be gaping chasms of
errors.

All I know was that with my DSL, when the guys came to the house they ended up
borrowing my fishing wire because it was stronger than theirs, but they did get
it in and working within a few hours.... At least a month after we ordered the
service.
