I live just east of West Chester Borough. The only reason I have DSL access _at all_ is because my apartment complex is wired for it, and even then I can't get a 1.5 line -- I've tried, but they've said I live too far away from the substation to get more than 768/128. My dad lives about a mile away from me and has never been able to get DSL, and this is someone who worked for Verizon for 30 years (if anyone could pull strings to get a service, it'd be him.)

My closest friend lives just south of Exton, in what is still considered to be West Chester as far as the post office is concerned. He can't get it either.

Much of the rest of my family lives in Newtown Square. THEY can't get it either.
