We offer DSL service to subscribers in Nebraska.  From a service 
provider perspective, there are *many* issues (like house wire, local
'last mile' quality, etc.) that figure into this as well.  We offer
straight CAP ADSL, but we are thinking about expanding into some of the
other DSL types.

If you run into a jam, feel free to E-Mail me.
