If your more than 12,000 thousand feet from the central office you are going to have problems! My mother has SBC and right outside her house is a fiber optic terminal. SBC say the fastest speeds they can offer my mom is 162k up & 650k down, because phone lines are not shield against RF interference causing signal problems! Have you ever seen a phone wire? I have high speed cable from Cox and I get 13megs down, 1.3 megs up ALL THE TIME! Thats because RG6 standard cable is thick enough to handle not only internet but HDTV too! Those speeds are close to dial-up, not wear th your time.
