Hamstrung by its own success
Apparently I'm not the only one around here who thinks Comcast's cable modem service sucks. I got a call at about 10am this morning from a Verizon technician who was working on the lines up the street from me (literally, he just tapped in and called). As it turns out, there aren't enough interface cards to provision a DSL line for me -- the ones they've installed have all been spoken for already.
All that means is that I'm going to have to wait another week or two before I get my DSL line as they have to install more cards, even though I've already got my hardware, according to the technician, so I guess I'll just have to make do until then.
