i have a friend who had verizon dsl.  they piggybacked it on his current phone
line.  he had filters out the ass, and he could STILL hear noise on his 900Mhz
portable phone.

i have covad.  they run a second loop, they don't piggyback it.  i think that
rules, i like not needing filters and all that associated nonsense.

granted covad dsl was more expensive than verizon dsl, but so far, well worth
the extra money.
