Lesson
So SBC still still STILL doesn't have my DSL connection up and running. It has been weeks since I ordered it, and 10 days since it was supposed to be online. Anyway, they've lost my business. I've ordered a Comcast cable modem. I should have listened to you all. I've learned my lesson.
Update: The technicians at SBC have "discovered" that I'm too far from the central station to get DSL. It would have been nice if they had told me this before I waited a month for service. SBC is dead to me now.
