Pass
If
your line(s) passed, congratulations!
You can order RDSL service
by calling LISCO at (641) 472-7100 or (800) 331-8414.
See
pricing details here.
Fail
There
are really only two reasons why a line would fail. The most common is
that your location is too far away from our CO
(your line has high footage, or is on a remote
switch). The other reason
is there are devices on the
loop that cancel out data transmission (like
load coils or an SLC).
But
don’t despair! If you have another telephone number, we’d be happy to
pre-qualify it for you.
NOTE:
If you live in Utopia Park or behind the industrial park
in Fairfield, or at Bos Laanden in Pella, you are behind a
SLC
("slick") and can not currently get DSL service from LISCO.
Please call us to pre-qualify your lines for you.
Conditional
pass
You
will receive a conditional pass notification if your loop is a good
length but there are removeable devices on it.
Devices,
like carriers and
load coils,
remove (or use for themselves) the high frequencies needed for data.
There are extra charges (levied by the phone company) associated with
having these devices removed, and the line afterward may not be suitable
for voice transmission.
In
a situation like this, you can get DSL, but it will cost more and may
make the telephone line unsuitable for phone conversations.
NOTE:
The usual fee for removal of a
load coil
is $249.91. Removal of a carrier is
free of charge; LISCO absorbs the cost for you.
It's
been a few months. Can I try again?
If
your line(s) failed a few months ago, it isn't likely that they will
pass now. But feel free to call in, and we'll be happy to pre-qualify
them again.
