Re: sooner or later Here's the thing: the only way a telco can compete with even 5 Mbps up is via VDSL (short loop copper) or FTTH.
Where neither of the above are available, they can't compete.
If you switch to 10 Mbps up instead of 5 Mbps, then the loop lengths on VDSL have to get even shorter. Anything above 20Mbps just isn't possible in real deployments outside of, say, a building. |

In general I agree with you though that xDSL just isn't going to cut it.

Sorry, I should've specified that I was talking about *upstream* speeds. 30-40 Mbps down is doable over bonded ADSL2+ or VDSL2, but upstream speeds are quite a bit harder.
Hmm, bonded VDSL2... |

This company sounds like a contractor for AT&T. Tooting VDSL like it's better than fiber. Obviously they don't have any fiber experience/customers or they would realize when a horse was dead. |

And again, bonded upstream DOCSIS 3.0 will wind up providing 20 Mbps upstream in short order. |

What Bonding buys (along with higher speeds) is consistent availability of speeds due to the higher aggregate speed pool. By bonding 3 or 4 channels, you get the total bandwidth of these channels to hand out so that one user has a smaller impact on others. |
