You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

This isn't really true. It's something that could potentially happen but in no way guarenteed. Also I'll remind you that we have that for DSL and landlines and nearly everyone just uses the actual owner of said DSL and landline instead of the "competitors" because they get to dictate maintenance terms and can easily control what'll actually go through.
This may be different in other states, but DSL is not tariffed in MN, so any CLEC that wants to provide ADSL2+/VDSL through a Centurylink/Legacy Qwest wholesale agreement is required to also resell the Centurylink ISP, because their "Fiber to the Node" network infrastructure does not allow third party ISP access.
