There is also an office only the ISPs get to talk to, I think its called 
the MegaCenter. After you have moved to the new place and your 
phone line has been installed. Tell the tech or salesperson you 
want to talk to someone in the MegaCenter on conference call. 
Convince the person at the MegaCenter that you wont complain if 
the service is bad and you will live with whatever connection you 
can get. I'm at 22,000 and get a signal of 15db or less sometimes. 
Technicly its not suppose to work, but I get a constant connection. 
Only problem is, if something goes wrong, they wont fix it. 
But, thats the deal I made.
