The most interesting thing about this is that the folks at SBC, now ATT&T, swore up and down that I couldn't get more than 1.5 mbps because I was '8100 feet' from the CO... I KNEW that I was less than 3100 feet from the CO so I had them force the upgrade order on my line. Looks like I picked up a little boost!
