I know that when I tried to get DSL, I didn't qualify do to "line filters". Two weeks after I got broadband, I got a letter from Qwest stating that DSL was available in my area. It may take time for them to get to fixing the line.

I am at about 12,900 feet from the CO, but can't qualify due to load coils on the line. I have tried the usual customer service route, but just get "what's a load coil", to "there is nothing we can do". They often reference some "tariff" issue, but can't specify what it is, nor can they tell me what tariff issue they are referencing when I ask for specifics. I plan on writing the MN PUC, but doubt that will do any good. Sounds like I am out of luck.
