It all depends on where in Clements you live. Personally, I live in an area that doesn't have cable or DSL. I went with Verizon's Wireless Broadband. I pay $59.00 a month for up to 5GB. 5GB is plenty providing you aren't downloading movies, etc. I'm running my card all day long and have never gone over 3GB. Anyway - you are only a phone call away - so, give Verizon a call and see if they have DSL in your area or go to their website and enter in your land line phone number.

How did you get that to happen?? It says it's not available for me either, but my brother lives a mile from me and has it. I called then and they still told me no.

I have Verizon wireless broadband also. It is not as fast as DSL or cable but it is a lot better than dialup. I have 5GB also and have never made it to 2GB yet.

The limiting factor for DSL is that you need to be within 2000' of the comm equipment location, and even that is stretching it on older wiring. The website lookup is a good guide, but call to make sure, like APS did.
