Well, that sucks, but if the local tarrif doesn't list SDSL as available in your area (no rate established), then the telco may not be able to offer you an SDSL service/rate, since none is legally defined.

The reality that they are using SDSL *technology* to supply a T1 equivalent service when a T1 is requested may be based on their inability to offer an "unlisted" service...

Now, if SDSL has a defined tarrif and they deny it, that is an *entirely* different matter, of course...
