We have been able to get up to 20 MB with the DSL2 option for about a year now. Although I know what a CO is I know very little about DSL- thought it was terrible with Qwest years ago when I tried it out. Not sure where the CO is located in my area since I'm with cable. Until I get FIOS at home I'm stuck/sticking with cable. BTW Comcast has said it is not interested in FTTH either, but at least Qwest is slowing getting their feet wet in this arena despite what they have said.
