[ale] OT: Affordable ADSL for Paulding County?

[Dan Mount]

Well, I dunno how much it costs to build one, but the CO near me (Lucky me,
I'm less than 1100 feet from my co) is expanding. They are more than
doubling the size of the building. I asked the BellSouth Guy, during my SDSL
install, why they were expanding so much, he pointed to the new jack on my
wall and said "that's the reason"... I've had ADSL for several months now,
but I had to wait more than 2 months for my SDSL line due to the CO
expansion... So, from my viewpoint, Bellsouth is expanding in my area...
Unfortunately, it seems like luck of the draw...

I live in Paulding and have Comcast cable.  The only DSL service
available is a 144Kbps IDSL type line available thru Covad as a
Telebit service.  Comcast is slow in deploying cable modems. 
Bellsouth's nearest CO is too far for ADSL or SDSL.  It is frustrating
when Paulding is such a fast growing community.  We have hundreds of
new houses being built in all these new subdivisions.  It is amazing
how slow BellSouth is in reacting to potential markets.  Does anyone
know how much it costs to build a new CO?  Thousands?  Millions?
