100MB DSL isnt available

Could be too far from an equipped Central Office. This roughly means greater than 4.5km on AWG26 wire, give or take a kilometer depending on line quality.

Phoneline is "loaded" with a loading coil added for voice quality. Loading coils filters out all high frequency signals, the very ones ADSL needs for transmitting.

Phoneline has AML. AML allows two phone numbers on one single wire pair. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with DSL, and most telcos will not remove AMLs even if you request it.

Line has an incompatible service. This can be:
- pay phone lines
- digital lines (FX/RX, Centrex, Microlink, Megalink, DEA, DNA, LDDS). DSL is an analog technology.
- PBX trunks and phone extensions
- CLEC loops (i.e. Bell Canada can't legally put Bell DSL on a Telus loop and vice versa)


Picture of how DSL is run to Home

Is she the only person in the neighborhood with the service? They may not have enough provisions in the c/o for more users yet.
