Anybody aware of large scale xDSL ISP deployment, like hundreds of units?

At the TISPA meeting in March, if I recall correctly, a guy from PairGain
claimed a large installation in Chicago and one somewhere in Canada.
I just read (Comm Week?) that Microsloth was trying ADSL out with a group
of its employees in Washington, but direct from their homes to the software
factory and not through the big-"I". Reports were glowingly positive.
--SG
gofast.net is offering ADSL dedicated service near their POP in downtown
St. Paul. No clue on how large a scale -- they just started offering it.

GTE recently announced that it will add 1,000 Microsoft employees to its
ADSL Internet access trial in Redmond, Washington.
A press release can be found at

A "trial" of this size will probably result in permanent service.

SaskTel in Saskatchewan was one of the first companies anywhere to offer
xDSL Internet access. There's not much info here

but there is a contact name and you can see how they are marketing it.

The bottom line is track record. Not track tearing. Not track derailing.
But pounding the damn dirt around the track with the rest of us worms.
