said by Fox McCloud:said by powerspec88:Im am in the same spot as you, cable is about 5miles away but dsl is only about 1mile away, Embarq said by this xmas so i can only hope. And for any WISP im on the very edge for both WISP in my area. I could go to Alltel but i can't go back to Rev. 0 as i need the upload speed for my live streaming i do.
1 mile? That sucks :T
my case? I'm only about 4,400-4,500 feet away from a remote terminal...and it's a fiber-fed remote terminal (and the copper lines from my home to the terminal are good as well...I was able to connect at 50.6k with dial-up, back in the day).....the only issue? No DSLAM....if there was once, a large portion of my area would have DSL (and that's needed, there's been more homes built of late).
Yep, the RT is just right up the street from me to, a good ~1000feet. And my dial-up speeds were that fast also. There would be a good 100 people in my area that could get DSL if they enabled the RT for DSL. But once i can get DSL im still going to keep SMB as i got the linksys router so i'll just be useing it for backup if the DSL ever goes out.
