<title>FairPoint rolling out 7.1 meg ADSL</title>

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/239636"><b>tschmidt</b></A> : Nashua Telegraph has an article today that FairPoint is rolling out residential 7.1 meg DSL for $39.99 per month. I barely manage to squeak by with 3 meg, due to distance, but it is nice to see them cranking up speed.<br><br>Wish they would implement a pure play IP network and get rid of PPPoE and ATM, yielding a 10% speed improvement at same modem sync rate.<br><br>&raquo;<A HREF="http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080905/NEWS01/309059930" >www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbc&middot;&middot;&middot;09059930</A> <br><br>The article also says that FairPoint has finally picked a new name for FIOS since that is a Verizon trademark. They are calling FIOS FAST. Wow must have spend big bucks on market research. I completely missed what they were talking about my first read of the article.<br><br>/tom]]></description>
