What's the issue with DSL?

[zmgmeister.livejournal.com]

Why is that not all of Somerville can get DSL? We don't exactly live out in the boonies.

Anybody know what the issue is, and which neighborhoods can and can't get DSL?

Digital multiplexers, for one thing. These combine a bunch of lines into one, so they don't have to run new copper all the way back to the CO, but if your line is on one, no DSL for you. This is why we're on Comcast (ick) rather than Speakeasy.
