[LUNI] Anybody use Starnet WX? (vs DSL)

[SqrFolkDnc at aol.com]

What exactly is the "physical test"?  I talked to the SBC person to order it 
from (and he was knowledgeable enough to answer my questions), then he 
conferenced in somebody else (presumably also an SBC technician), telling her that he 
had two indications, one saying I could get DSL and another saying not. She 
did something (presumably running some kind of test) and said I was too far 
from the CO.  I asked her if some intermittent problems I have been having 
(mostly crosstalk between my two phone lines) could affect her test, and she said 
no, her test didn't go as far as my home.
