What's the status on running DSL over fiber?  I heard it was in development
but I've been out of the loop for so long that I never heard what happened
next.  It ticked me off because in my old place I could SEE the building
that the DSLAM was in.  Thanks to ssssssssSeren Innovations my building was
completely fiber fed because they wanted everyone to use their cable modem
service instead.  I did call and whine a couple times, but I never got any
decent answers.

"Oh sir, DSL is not available in your area"
"We are currently working on extending the range of DSL"
"Would you like to sign up for uswest.net?"
...etc


You can call and whine, and if enough people do they may accelerate it.
Other than that there's nothing you can really do.  Are you sure the
problem is that there's no DSLAM in Fridley?  FAIK there's a lot of fiber
right to the doorsteps out there that's preventing people from getting
DSL.
