It took 2.5 years for my house to get DSL service after moving there,
even though I asked my ISP before buying if they could check if that
area had support.  They asked Bell, Bell said "Yes it does", but when it
came time to move the DSL service, Bell suddenly said, "No it doesn't".
So you can check, and even then get screwed.  The ISP eventually managed
to get info out of Bell along the lines of "The DSLAM is full" or
something similar.
