Re: Covad/Earthlink DSLAMS have space Actually the areas which don't have FIOS upgraded yet INCLUDE a huge chunk of users who DO QUALIFY for the ADSL2+ service.
Loop lengths in the densest parts are among the lowest.
Earthlink has mailed me advertisements before for Home Phone and internet service before this new service was available so I would expect them to mail out future advertisements for the new service.
In my case my internet options have now increased:
8000/1000 DSL with Voice is the maximum DSL offering now, will be interesting to see if they raise speed to closer to 24Mbps or if FIOS will come out anytime in the near future
20000/2000 Max cablemodem from one of 2 cable companies.
Other cable company is 8000/512k max
With the new offering, Time Warner Cable is NOW irrelevant for broadband internet since its speeds are non competitive.
Unfortunately as of now this offering does not appear to have shifted the competitive landscape from the other providers, but it does allow a nicely priced 8000/1000 Mbps service for those who need Internet AND unlimited calling.
