What would be revolutionary is getting decent copper speed to go farther, not just faster.
Sure fiber is the future in the urban setting, but rural users are still left out of the loop. It would be great if sonic (and other indy telcos) would also focus on new technology that will benefit those of us that are out of cable/fiber/dsl range.
Heard of the AdrenaLine DSL booster? Lots of rural telcos use it. CenturyTel (now CenturyLink) and Frontier are two big examples of this.
You can milk more feet out of DSL. It's just spendy and the ROI may or may not be there when you're used to serving VDSL customers in a very populous area on triple play.
reply to Dan2112 I said the RT is what kills you from having any service expect what ATT offers you.
IF ATT was smart they'd start deploying RTs like mad along with U-Verse services. They expand their coverage and can convert more customers over to them. a Win Win for them.
