Um... you might want to check the fine print on the DSL service agreement.
At least in SWBell (and I strongly suspect it's also true in other DSL

[Lots of perfectly accurate stuff, deleted]
To add insult to injury, here in Pac*Hell land both PB and Covad consider
DSL to be a "best effort" service; if they can't get it to work they can
just walk away from the deal.
I won't even talk about how fragile PBI's ATM backhaul from the DSLAMs
has become. Me, I'm not giving up my T1.
