Too bad they cant get any kind of decent DSL speeds to their user area. 768k is a joke. The limited area that this affects isn't hardly worth talking about... |

AT&T says they'll offer pair bonded VDSL by the end of this year. To offer bonded VDSL, AT&T needs to assign two DSLAM ports to each customer. This may prove intresting; in some areas there may be a shortage of free pairs.
(In addition, some areas may only have one pair per residence .) |

As is the case in my area, and I live in the Bay Area, in a profitable area where almost everyone has internet, usually Comcast or ATT DSL. I've been told my line is bad and they don't have any spares to switch it out, so I'm pretty much stuck with 768kbps. |

I'm far from no mans land. They only offer 768k unless you're in one of their original DSL areas. Its pretty much a joke anywhere else. Cable offers 16meg where I'm at but since we are a new subdivision theres no cable in there yet. |
