DSL line installation

Question

Hi, we live in a rural area in western PA and are currently not offered DSL service.  This is rather infuriating, as the very next house on our road DOES get DSL.  Is there any way--anyone I can call--to have a verizon technician install a DSL line on the telephone poles running by our house?  I currently have verizon wireless mobile broadband access, and to be honest, it isn't that bad, but I would still greatly prefer DSL, as it is faster and the service is not affected by the weather.

Answer 1

While you're on your DSL connection, could you please paste the output of the below?

elevated command prompt

your install

Start, search for ‘cmd’, right click on the command prompt window and
select “Run as administrator”

3)

4)
