I live in an area where I was about 500ft too far from the CO, I used cable modem for about 2 years. When they were in the process of building the new Elementary school, they had to put in a new CO to handle all the new lines in the area, not only because of the school, but the additional sub-divisions being built. I kept contacting my a DSL provider I wanted to use, and they kept me up to speed as to when the CO would be complete. Once the CO was completed and operational, within a month, I was on DSL (I ordered DSL, but didn't want to lose the month already paid to the cable provider). Hope this helps the understanding. If you are not in an area with alot of construction going on, talk to the phone company, and see what their plans are for equipment upgrades or re-provisioning, this might give you an idea as to when you might be able to get DSL.</p> <p>good luck<br /> Harold</p> <hr /><a name="a2285_13"></a><p><b>From: Engravin' Dave (DATAKES)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2285.13">#13</a>]<br /> 20 Nov 2005<br /><b>To: Zonas</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2285.3">#3</a>] Unread</p> <p>Zona,</p> <p>There is a company in Topeka that is offering the same type of high-speed internet connection that I use. I have had Cable and DSL in the past, and the service I have now is just as good, if not better. Severe weather has never effected my service.</p> <p>The company you need to contact is TSC Communications at 800-447-2348.<br /> They will need to run a test to see if their tower signal can reach your location.</p> <p>Here is a link to an article that was in the Topeka Capital-Journal on October 9, 2005. <a href="http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4179/is_20051009/ai_n15666255">http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4179/is_20051009/ai_n15666255</a> </p> <p>I would ask them if they would wave the installation fee if you commit to a two-year contract. I pay $59.95 per month for my service.</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 20 Nov 2005 by DATAKES</p> <hr /><a name="a2285_14"></a><p><b>From: Paul (JACKPETTY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2285.14">#14</a>]<br /> 20 Nov 2005<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> <p>Most computer techs suggest 15 seconds of no power then just plug it in. If connected to a router, you should do that next to clear it out as well. <br /> One other thing is that you can go to dslreports.com and run bandwidth tests to see how fast your connection is and there are also some tools to help you make sure your connection is tweaked at it's best potential. These are pretty harmless so you don't need to get a geek to help you out.</p><hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2285.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=2285.1">1-11</a>  12-14</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
