No supprize.

With Cable so prevalent in this country and DSLs inherit distance restraints. The Telcos will have too spend some major Cash for new Vrads or RTs to reach new DSL customers.

If only the Verizon CSRs worked this well.

Re: No supprize.

Especially in Iowa where currently Mediacom is the fastest in the Area.(Even if there CS leaves something to be desired) Compared to what the telco can give me
(10Mb D/512U) Cable wins by a landslide

 Or they deploy ADSL2+ (better speeds over longer distances) or FTTH (speed isn't determined by distance) you have less of a\no problem.

On the two DSL systems I've been in contact with, I've been close enough to get full speeds, but they're 85% of rated, so a big bucket of meh.
