There are telephone trucks working down the road, so I stopped and asked what they'd doing. They're from AT&T, setting up high-speed DSL for my area. I'm about a mile from the phone exchange, and the technician says the service will work for almost a two-mile radius. He says I should have DSL withing 60 to 90 days.

So, what do I need to know about it, and what equipment will I need? What speed is sufficient for normal Internet use? Any caveats? Will I still have times of extremely slow service?
