Re: Meanwhile in the real world....
said by travelguy  :That said, after the metro areas of Denver, Phoenix, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Portland, and a small part of Albuquerque, where can you get speeds above 1.5Mbps? About every CO-based DSLAM offers the 7M speeds, as do the FTTN boxes which also offer the 12M/20M speeds.
There are multiple CO's with DSLAMs offering greater than 1.5M in Albuquerque alone, plus such MAJOR metropolitan areas such as Bayard, Taos, Clovis, etc, etc, etc.
Yeah, it sucks that you happen to be too far from the CO and can only get 1.5M. Now that Spring is here, I'd expect that FTTN installations will start ramping up again. |

I can see the lights of Albuquerque (to quote a famous song) from my place and would buy you serious amounts of your favorite adult beverage in celebration if that were to happen any time soon.
Given the number of Phds working at various government facilities who live in the neighborhood, I can't believe the takeup wouldn't more than meet the financial hurdles for such an investment. |
