I'm moving into a new place in about 2 weeks.  I have preordered my phone
line, but the line doesn't currently qualify for DSL.  They are unsure of
the exact reason, but it could be because it's over 15k feet (it's 16,100
feet), and DSL works fine up to about 18k feet.  When they activate my new
line, they are sending someone out to replace the copper going to the house,
and to remove and coils or other odd things between the house and the CO
which would prevent DSL from working.  

If the only reason though is distance, does anyone know a good way to get
them to hook me up anyway?  16,100 feet is still less than the distance I
was from the CO at a previous place and it worked just fine (over 17,000
feet).
