You shouldn't have to do any tweaks at all. I've had DSL for over a
year and have never had to do anything. I can host 16-20 in GPL and
20+ in N3 without any problems

God Bless you Mike, I live in Hell Titanic territory less than 1Km from
the closest CO
and they can't tell me when I might be able to get DSL service in any
flavor!

Heck I called and they have my closest sub-station all converted and
ready to go . . . BUT for some reason they will not allow anyone to
use it yet? So I will try cable for a year.

They did
remove them off my line. It took 6 months but they did do it. With the load
coils on though you will not be able xDSL.
Good luck and don't give up, try different ISP's if you have to, I went with
Speakeasy.net and they were the ones that finally got Bellsouth to remove
the load coils.

Mike,
The load coils are installed to equalize the frequency response over long
cable runs from the telephone co's central office equipment. If they take
them out, it would probably lead to complaints about voice quality on the
line. I don't think the phone companies are really geared up to get DSL off
the ground just yet. In spite of the fact tht they market it heavily, the
people out on the street making things work haven't been educated enough to
know what's involved in making it work.

A lot of the problems with installation is distance and in addition to that
there are what they call load coils on some lines. I called Bellsouth and
checked that my line was ok and they sent a technician out to install. When
he got to my house, he said that I was approximately 21M feet out which is
about 3M too much. He said that he would install though and that I should
get speeds of 500K or less. After running a few small tests he came back
and said there was a load coil on my phone line. These are used for
filtering out noise and static. He noted that this would have to be removed
before he could install the service and that it should not be a problem.
After two weeks of calling and calling to the DSL folks and the local (NC)
line offices, the final answer from the engineering supervisor and DSL
supervisor was that at this time Bellsouth would not be removing any load
coils for anyone, so DSL would not "at this time" be available to me. If
there is anyone out there that knows something that I do not about this
situation, please let me know, I would be greatful. Sorry to get off the
subject there guys, but had to spread some knowledge so that some others may
save some time and frustration, not to mention the disappoinment as
Bellsouth is doing this to a lot of folks!

several pairs for potential ISDN use. Call higher in the company to a fourth
or fifth level exec. they hate that and will try to satisfy you.
