Los Angeles, CA | Faster speeds in close...what a crock! What's really needed is something to increase the reach of 1500/384 service. That would increase the number of customers and provide a benefit needed far more than 8mbps to a limited number of people. |

Duluth, GA | Was thinking along the same lines. They need to figure out a way to get decent speeds at a further distance from the CO (for ADSL/ADSL2/etc). |

ADSL2 bonds two pairs (because usually every house has one live pair and one unused pair running to their home). All this does is lower the line quality problems with long distance, so those close to the CO can get higher speeds and those far away can get speeds better than before. Those really far away are still limited by the laws of physics, so unless a Remote Terminal is put in close by, they are still out of luck. |
