Question: Too far from the DSL hub? My phone company says I am 12.25 kilofeet (12,250 feet, or 2.32 miles) from the hub that would be servicing me.   \n\nWith a 1.5Mb service, what kind of speeds and reliability should I expect?

Answer: I would expect your service to top out at about 1MB under ideal conditions. This distance is on the edge of true viability for DSL. I think that you should check if there are any alternatives to DSL that fall within your price range, or at least hedge your bets by not purchasing (rent it) any related equipment until you are sure the product actually works in your location.
