Re: St. Louis DSL?
We felt like some might respond as you have, CrankBait, thinking this is a marketing ploy.
However we also felt that some might respond in appreciation, to the fact, that we could offer an alternative to dialup in an area that has been undeserved by DSL and/or Cable.
We would actually be willing to spend our dollars to make sure these folks had service, if we could provide it.
As your tag suggests, you are fortunate to have DSL.
A lot of the the folks in the St. Louis area do not have broadband services that you currently enjoy.
All we are simply trying to do is offer broadband where DSL and/or cable does not extend their facilities to everyone.
This "dead zone" area could be figured by a CO and distance, but that is not always the case. From our marketing studies, there is no true distance from the CO that is measurable, with the exception of limited distance under 1.5 miles.
I am truly sorry, I certainly did not mean to cause any anguish, Please forgive me if you felt this was inappropriate.
I sincerely apologize.

Could you use this site, and view the CO's in the area your looking at, and just target the RED, "DSL Dark" area for your towers. I know this won't help with cable, but it could point in you the right direction.
I know we offer service out of a # of CO's in this area. but your right on distance, since it is based on wire distance, not as the crow flies.
I have no problem with what you are trying to do. Wireless in some areas are the only option, the way technology is today.

That is the entire problem. When I map out the coverage area (I am using MS MapPoint and DeLorme TOPO) and then I input the address into my data base that has the cross street directory it generally turns out to be fifty percent accuract. Folks that "should" be able to get DSL, cannot and yet others that one would think they are distance challenged can get it... 
It also seems to me that the CO listings are fairly stale as to what is actually collocated in their facility.
Is there anyother way of finding out exactly what type of DSLAM is located in that facility? Maybe that can help out on this equasion.
One would think that there could be logic to something as distance sensitive, but I am having trouble doing the math...;)
