In California, most providers use resold PacBell pairs - and even then,
most service providers resell Covad infrastructure (which relies upon
PacBell pairs).

New Zealand's DSL offering is inferior in cost and reliability compared
with that available internationally.

I have had experience with incumbent DSL providers internationally that
are able to offer reliable flat rate without "competition."
