Quite possibly!  Part of my frustration is being outright lied to by 
various CenturyLink levels.  At the beginning noise on the line which 
caused my DSL to die.  The techs were getting one set of test numbers on
their dial-in site, another on the line in the basement.  As they
disconnected the house pretty much means isn't my equipment but theirs 
(ended up literally six months later they moved my connection at the 
Central Office to a different computer - problem solved!).

Once they fixed the line minimal problems here, unless there was an 
electric issue -- apparently no/failed UPS.  There was some throttling 
for a while at night.

The 7 Mbps asynchronous DSL here is a for-certain $40 plus taxes and
other miscellaneous fees tacked on.  The 200 Mbps fiber optic is right
now about $10 more -- it will go up next year about ten dollars as I'm
on a special.



.... I did find another "LG>" further down but didn't see a comment -- 
will end this and check in the original.
