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?

The story I've always heard is "wire strung by Alexander Graham Bell himself". The trick we pulled was to get, and then cancel, Verizon DSL, then having proven it's possible sign up with a provider we actually liked (Speakeasy). We're just east of Davis along Highland and it works fine here.
