Re: Uverse availability
One interesting tidbit is that AT+T originally expected to be able to use VRADs to cover 5000 foot wire lengths, but they're having a hard time getting VDSL to handle it due to outside plant conditions. That's where your 3000' estimate likely comes in.
Are your calculations right? Are you factoring in all the turns (corners, aerials, underground) in the wire plant?
17 500 feet = 3.31439394 miles
Area of circle = pi * sqr(radius)
3.31439394*3.31439394*pi = 34.5110462 sq miles
(3 000 ft) * 3 000 ft * pi = 1.01420217 sq miles
(5 000 ft) * 5 000 ft * pi = 2.81722826 sq miles
Those calculations above would be for ideal conditions, which I'd bet are extremely rare. |
