ADSL/IDSL technology requires hardware at the CO itself.
>From that point, it's a matter of getting digital data from the CO to your
site. I would expect to pay a lot for the telco to recover the huge cost
of the CO hardware. Esp since ADSL has a limited range.

For us, the telco here links ADSL clients at the CO into their fibre
optic data backbone, and if we want to be part of ADSL, we'd have to buy a
link to that backbone (about $5k/month). And basically take the cable and
plug in straight into our core router, thus out to the internet.
