1 edit		Not bad for Business pricing

Compared to a lot of competitors like business cable HSI or the higher end ILEC DSL offerings that's not too bad at all. It wasn't too long ago (the last year or so) that Verizon wanted $200+/mo for 7100/768 Biz DSL.

1Mb up is a bit slow for biz and while I think 1Mb was a traditional DSL limitation I though that ADSL2+ would permit faster uploads.

 They're purposely not trying to max out the DSLAMs at the moment. Since copper quality varies widely across the country they went with 1mbps b/c it was a sweet spot in the market that was attainable. Anything beyond that requires finesse... and being even closer to the CO.

If the lines were bonded,yes. if not then its still going to max at 896kbps.

Los Angeles, CA		 do you need to have 2 pairs of copper wire to get the full 1.0 upload? The building where I live has only 1 pair of copper wires per unit.
