Re: What about their 7meg package? Thhis assumes the copper plant is in good condition, with 24AWG wire from the CO to the subscriber. Realistically, this doesn't happen that often.
Me? I'm at nearly 21,000 feet. Pulling between 1 and 1.5 Mbps. The secret? 22AWG or better wire between me and the CO (live right off the main highway into town). And I'm fed from the CO, rather than an RT, which to my knowledge hasn't been upgraded.
It's kind of sad that I can get 5/1 DSL at my other house in the sticks, ~15 miles from a town of any size, a half mile away from a farm-to-market road, but can't get 1.5 Mbps 2 miles outside of town. Oh wait, the out-in-the-sticks cooperative charges more for their service...WAY more...and uses the money to build fiber and digital loop carriers to get loop lengths down. They could offer 10-15 Mbps ADSL2+ with no problem over that infrastructure... |
