Comments on news posted 2001-02-24 04:11:03: The map to the left (click it for a bigger size) has a green dot for where we think there is a DSL enabled CO, and a red dot for a CO without DSL capability.. Telephone companies and CLECs sure have some work ahead of them.. ..

That is Amazing!

That's a shame that there are so few DSL enabled CO's available. Man, what is this... 1959.

What about cable?

I'd wish someone would do a "cable" map like this one. I'm curious-is there more or less cable availability?

Entire states without any green in them.

 I question the accuracy of this map!

I'm sure it's from a good source. However, there doesn't appear to be one in my area (southwest corner of Mo.) There's one that appears to be in Springfield, Mo. But I'd be a little out of range for that one!! Cool map anyway.

Green dots in my hair!

Did you guys notice that on the NorthEast coast we stole all of the green, and that our entire green is equivalent to the rest of the country?

Does anyone know why?

Just my 2 cents. If you got a 50 dollar bill I'll make if my 50 Dollars.....

Need one more color

What about those CO's which were formerly operational, but have now been shut down?

Also, there is a difference between CO's that have inactive DSLAM's and CO's that have had the DSLAM entirely yanked (some of the flailing providers left their equipment behind for unspecified reasons, even though they are not live).

Not that I'm critical of the .gif itself because that's cool as hell (put it on m'background, I did).

I question the accuracy of this map. In Maine and New Hampshire there are many COs where I know there are a variety of DSL providers, and they don't show up on the
map. For example, Maine has at least 20 COs with DSL,
but the map shows far fewer.

This may come as a shock, but many DSL providers don't bother to register with DSL Reports. Turns out, DSL Reports is not the center of the Universe.

Reviewing the above, I realize it is not true. It is not that I question the accuracy of the map; I know it is
wrong.

Let's start a petition.

Just by eyeing this chart, it appears that only 0.5% of all COs are DSL-enabled. This must change.

Re: Green dots in my hair!

Probably because we have as much population in the northeast as the rest of the country. (Slight exaggeration, of course, but not too far off). DSL goes where the population is!

 Where did this map come from?

Who created this map, and when? Is the source reliable and up-to-date? Is this the way things looked last month, or last year, or 1998, or...?

Just wondering.

Re: yesyes

Although not every ISP is registered, there are very few CLECs and Telcos to cover. (actually, fewer CLECs by the month). It only takes one ISP registration who resells a CLEC, to represent their COs .. not all ISPs. In other words, one correct Covad ISP partner listing is enough to include all of Covad.

For tiny CLECs, with few partners, then the map may not include them, but the "real" map, whatever that is, does not look much different to this..
