I heard from an Embarq field tech that the stuff this company makes works in field trials and could have an important impact on just what you are referencing.
Wow, Embarq? Sometimes they blow things badly, but other times they hit the nail on the head....let's hope the trial goes well and Embarq deploys this at all their DSLAMs eventually. I'm all for upgrading to fiber-optics, but I also realize how unrealistic that is (especially out in the country)....I guess we'll have to wait and see what Embarq has in store for us.
This would fit Embarq's gameplan. They aren't going FTTH. Their goal is to provide broadband to all their customers rather than hitting the metro areas with fiber. I like Verizon's approach better, but for Embarq its not an option due to cost and risk. Embarq is pretty good about getting DSL to their customers out in the middle of nowhere. They could do better, but of all the telcos they do try the hardest to service everyone.

If this works it would be big news for Embarq. Minor DSLAM upgrades and modem upgrades for new speeds would be a real winner.
especially if it gives these insanely high speeds at "good" distances.

One thing I do like about Embarq is that they do plan on having 100% coverage (by the end of 2009). Will they make it? I have my doubts, but if they do, then they can really concentrate on replacing crappy copper, bottlenecks, and invest in projects such as these.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19319998 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:06:35 EDT Re: 3-4 Years http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19319681 anon : I have to agree I mean this is the United States we're talking about. All other countries may advance by leaps and bounds but most of us will still be stuck with single digital mbps because theres no competition in our area. Then if they do increase speeds, without competition theres gonna be a price to pay.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19319681 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 21:41:33 EDT Re: 3-4 Years http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19319525 bogey780 : You mean VDSL2.

If claims of 250Mbps were true, how would that not be ground-breaking over current 3-6Mbps DSL connections?
VDSL2+ is capable of up to 100Mbps over copper already.

just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping this turns out to be more than just hype...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19317882 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:53:21 EDT Re: info http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19317684 53059959 : agreed. from what I understand this only works for VDSL (which is like 2500ft max 1000ft recommended). great for fttn setups like AT&T's but probably won't do anything for existing ADSL.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19317684 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 15:11:19 EDT Re: info http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19316931 anon : Protocol: BS (blowing smoke) Distance probably up to and not to exceed 10']]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19316931 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 13:19:40 EDT Re: 3-4 Years http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19316707 wombough : your right you won't get it unless there is a competition in the area. so if fiber and vdsl is out cable will beat the speed until one or the other is maxed. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19316707 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:38:55 EDT Re: info http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19316657 Fox McCloud :

Just 3-4 years ago the top speed I could get for reasonable money was 6mbs, now I get a whopping 15mbs. Huge improvement for 3-4 years (yeah, right).

protocol? distance?
Would also like to know =] I wonder if I would benefit from this technology being provisioned on a 15,700 ft. loop...(22/24 AWG) Though by the time this technology hits the U.S. (assuming it does), there may very well already be a DSLAM nearby me.. or not.
