| DSL, ADSL, ADSL2+, and most DSL technologies have one enourmous drawback. To get more upload then about 1 Mbps, you pretty much need to live right next to the CO.
VDSL can give you up to about 5 Mbps upstream provided you are actually within 800ft of the CO or something like that. U-Verse from AT&T has 1.5 Mbps upload, BUT you have to be close to a DSLAM for that.
Telco's need to switch to fiberoptics to get the powerusers. My cable company offers 15/2 connections (for businesses, I have 10/1 but i think they will upgrade everyone). NO telco is going to give me that (I am 11000 ft from the CO) unless they run fiber into my home.

Annex M gives ADSL2+ up to 3Mbps upload speed yet these guys aren't even offering it.. makes you wonder..

How do you figure DSL has enourmous set backs? North Point DSL and others back in the DSL Boom oftered faster DSL than what we have now! Where in the hell did all of that equipment that ATT and MCI (now VZ Business) buy when everyone went bankrupt. Someone surely knows what happened to it.
The fact is Telcos REFUSE to spend any damn money on their customers. If they can get away without doing it and staying in business they will. Telco's suck! and the CEO only cares about their bank account when they retire so they milk every damn thing they can. |
