Re: [Availability] Distance Limits?
there is no difference whatever in the equipment between the c.o. or the dslam they are exactly the same . the outer limits on adsl are as follows.... 1.5 meg = 24k ft 3 meg = 18k ft 6 meg = 9k ft . Your remote co will not be over 5 k from you if it is near the cross box Various company policies will sometimes limit this to be "on the safe side " All this needless speculation in the absence of real facts! Remember -- 1. cable line distance and real distance are two unrelated measurements . 2 even if the distance is right the line may not be conditioned for adsl. 3 . If it is going to work a human technician has to apply eyeballs, brains and hands , in that order . good luck |

Unfortunately your facts are incorrect. As Wayjac says, 1.5 meg is 18kf, 3 meg 13kf. 6 meg I believe is 5.5kf or up to 8kf if your line is ADSL2+ capable.
Will it work at longer distances? Sure, in some cases. But those are the lengths used by the loop qualification system in the former BellSouth region. |

| Ok . Somtimes the c.o. or the remote are setup to be adsl2+ but the preformance of the equipment is not dependent on if it is in the C.O. or not . They are installed randomly . You are quoting loop qualification distances . the distance the company will sell the service to . I am talking about the actual distances that I have provisioned to. On Adsl2+ I have seen 6 meg working at 13k ft . My facts are not incorrect . We are talking about two different sets of related facts in the former Bellsouth region . |

Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Most customers are going to be held to the qualification limits, so I figure that's what most customers care about. |
