OK. I'm not sure what this has to do with the reliability of DSL, though.
There is a considerable number of small and upcoming tech / internet businesses operated from home in areas where fibre is not an option even if the person would be willing to pay for ethernet over fibre (ATM, lets not go there).
So is your complaint that there is insufficient competition in the local loop, or that existing products are inadequate, or there are insufficient ISPs to choose from, or the ISP you're currently using sucks, or something else? If you're irritated at Dean because you think he's speaking for TCL, and you're interpreting his realspeak as telco arrogance, then that's easily fixed: he doesn't work for TCL any more, so I think it's safe to say he's not speaking for them in this thread. Nothing wrong with complaining for the sake of it, but if you want sympathy you should at least be clear about what's making you angry. Joe
