I know *all* of this - I was working for a company that was selling
DSL to end-users at the time.  Quite simply, it boiled down to Covad's
refusal to qualify *anybody* for more than 144K IDSL, no matter what their
situation/distance from the CO/etc, for about 3 months.  Like I said, it
resulted in the ISP eventually dropping them as a DSL carrier/provider,
and going with someone else for lines between the CO and the customer.

I'm rather not surprised that they had to lay off a bunch of people recently.
