Whats strange is i was forced into using verizon. I called 3 other DSL companies who i KNOW have DSL in my area (my company uses one of them and they are less than 1 mile away) and they all claim that its not available. Verizon was the only one who actually saw DSL available on my line..im still baffled about this one.

It's possible that you are just past the distance limits on DSL through those
other providers, but Verizon has a digital substation close enough to you to give you the service.
It's possible. Sometimes the local phone company just refuses to provision lines for anyone else, too. A friend of mine was in that situation for quite a while -- he wanted to get DSL from someone else, but Bell South simply wouldn't allow it. They'd take the work orders, mind you, because they were required to under law. The work would just never happen.
