Re: adsl2 I wonder which is better, ADSL2+ (with short loop length), FTTN or FTTC/FTTB.
RCN is fiber to the building with DOCSIS 1.0/1.1 transport medium to a highrise mdu with coaxial to apartments. (Fiber to the building?)
Time Warner is Fiber to the street level across the building on a narrow block across with Docsis plant. (guess this is Fiber to the curb?)
Pots lines are less than 2k feet from CO. Covad 15000/1000 will be available no problem with full speeds. So its fiber to the Central Office, then 2k feet or less of copper for delivery.
We don't have AT&T Uverse here however. RCN provides FREE Full CATV for the building. So one can get any provider they want for the internet and phone service, and so we have the whole gamut of options here.
But RCN was really pissing me off and Dick Parsons comments irked me. So while my building has the CATV contract and I wont have to pay for TV or need a box, for the internet side, I seem to be leaning towards Covad 15000/1000.
If you had 20000/2000 Cable on RCN vs 15000/1000 via Covad DSL and 12 month contract, which would you do? DSL would be a higher price with 12 month contract.
