| ADSL2 LOL, I knew we were screwed. Here in Vegas (aside from the very few that can obtain 10 Mbps DSL), it's either slow DSL, or a shite billing department with Cox.

| According to a discussion I had with an Embarq engineer last week, less than 15% of the residential market in Vegas can obtain the top DSL tier.
If you're unfamiliar with the network in this city, the old Sprint wired it to hell and back with fiber. So unless Embarq starts throwing up RTs to improve coverage, the majority will remain without. I had hoped CenturyLink would be a great competitor to Cox, but based on Karl's statement that their next generation broadband is "ADSL2", my hope was just a fallacy.
It just goes to show that rural providers should be confined to rural areas. |
