Re: frontier bonding adsl 2 + vdsl

Because cable cherry picks where they want to serve so a lot of people don't have that option.

That is very true about cable. I'm in a Comcast service area and can not get cable internet, but I can get Frontier 7.1Mb DSL. Hopefully they deploy this bonded technology to some of the smaller towns, I certainly wouldn't mind paying a little extra for 10+ Mb.

Are these bonded plans still coupled with 768k upload or are they bumping it up at all to say 1Mb?

Most of the bonded plans will have a 2Mb upload, but I think there is also a 15/5 tier as well for those about 6700ft or less from the CO.

Is that 6700ft total loop or one way distance?

One way distance

I wonder when it will be added to other areas, why they are not doing it everywhere yet and if it is dependent on the DSLAM installed. They just put the DSLAM's up here a year ago and we get 5-6 MB and they are fiber fed. I wonder if those will be capable of receiving it. All they have to do is connect you into a second ethernet port and give you a bonded modem isn't it?

The DSLAMs need to be ADSL2/ADSL2+ units that support bonding natively. Otherwise Frontier will have to use other techniques to bond the connections (MLPPP, etc). In legacy areas such as what I come out of, the BRAS or DSLAM would most likely need to be replaced before any such upgrades can be made, but it all depends on the equipment and it's age. VPN bonding is an option but that is additional overhead against the network and on the user's router.

so does any one know if the people like me thats modem set to adsl NOT adsl2+ will get upgrade where we can get the full 3mbps instead 1.3mbps to 1.1mbps or will we not get anything frontier been here for like 5 or 6 years know the high speed been here for about 2 or 3 years know

here what i get should i beable to get more than 1.1 to 1.3mbps i should beable to get 3or6mbps or what should i beable to get and is my line mode set to the old ADSL or is it ADSL2+

you should be able to get way faster speeds you need to email your regional manager or upgrade your speed tier !

reply to cool88
