Unfortunately, not every number in an exchange (like 825) will have access to DSL, You are routed out of a central office (CO), that may be a building or a box along the road (more likely). If the remote CO does not have DSL, you will not have DSL. Relative Loop Length – determined by physical length and line quality can make it where you have a DSL CO, but still unable to get DSL in your home. Most lines will have Bridge Taps – sort of like an additional phone jack between the CO and your home, and the length/number of these may keep you from getting DSL or degrade the signal you do have. Load Coils are put in place to help voice communication, but are in essence low-pass filters – you do not get as much static, but since the DSL signal is at about 25 KHz it will not pass, and you have no DSL (in some cases these can be removed – telcos do add CO’s or upgrade lines that would eliminate the need). DSL is not available on our line at the lake (Point Cloxson), but at home (McCalla) we have DSL as does our neighbor directly across the street, but because of routing it is not available to their next door neighbor (yet).
