Just about every DSL provider filters 25 & 80 (expect Direct TV DSL, who
explicitly state that they do not).  

The only way to get unfiltered DSL (since Direct TV DSL doesn't service
this area) is to get 'Business' service, not residential.

But Ameri-wreck only installs Business DSL on a Business phone line,  so
you'll need a business line (install $42, $20 a month) and then put
Business DSL on it ($49.95 a month, $50 activation, $99 router).  And
they may charge you ~$100-200 to install the router.
Of course prices and "terms of service" subject to whimsical change
without any notice what-so-ever.
