In most areas, what prevents you from getting DSL is the distance from 
the switch, not the capability of the switch itself.  Most places that 
I've checked (a fairly small number, admittedly, but a fairly random 
sampling of Kalamazoo and GR) are serviced by a new enough switch, but 
many are too far away from it.  www.dslreports.com has an excellent 
search feature that will tell you if you can get DSL, and why.
