Tim,
   
  Have you tried talking to the local office? I called Embarq and they kept 
telling me that DSL was not available where we are .....finally I called the 
local phone office and the lineman that waited on me said "No problem, all I 
have to do is flip a switch in the box" ...I asked if he would do that  and he 
said yes he would ...then he gave me the number of the main office and told me 
I had to call that same day. I called the main office ...they looked and said 
...yeah it is available and poof I had DSL ......my neighbor went through the 
same process and now they have it.....but if anyone else in this area calls the 
Main office they are told it is not available in our area yet. Sometimes it is 
not that it isn't available in an area but rather that the main office has 
decided it is not available (if you know what I mean)
