1 edit | east coast loop spec has always been 18Kft every m&p ive seen for the last 3 yrs has loop qual listed out to 18kft. ive been doing dsl trouble report field visits during that time as well. we have always used 18kft as the maximum distance allowable, but the business office tries to sell it out much much further than that. please keep in mind that just because the company says youre qualified, doesnt mean youll actually get those speeds all the time, if ever. many factors determine tx/rx rate and distance/attenuation is but one of those factors. not to mention engineers who continually qualify loaded prs. dsl is always sold on the "best effort" scenario and they really guarantee nothing.

1 edit | The spec was 18K but between 12K-18K they only sold 780/125 speeds. Beyond 18K they would not normally prequalify.What will the new max distance be? or are they only going to sell 1.5/384 |

I will be happy if they just upgrade me. I have 768/128 and have a solid 730/131 line. But I would like to get a bit more out of it. |

by the time we (as field techs) find out what the new "max" is, they will have changed their minds a dozen times. every dsl i have installed within the last 8 months(except aol dsl) has been provisioned at 1792/160 the aol dsl is put in at 864/160 at least thats what they do in pa.

18k and beyond is the lenght at which cables pairs need to be loaded for proper voice performance. So that is why most pairs that are longer than 18k are loaded and will stay loaded. |
