Thanks for the clarification, although I note that if you locate in the same
building as the CO, or the same block, that you can achieve a similar
(maximum) range just by buying a $25 leased line without the loading coils -
but still face the 2-3 mile max. limit.

So nothing new there, unless you are already ensconced some distance away.
And the basic issue is to "never play another man's game", and you are in
the lair of the Dragon when you venture into the CO of the telco's.
