Re: Puzzled said by richk_1957:
Since I am not in that end of telecomunications, this might be off base, but -
The reason behind the 1-mile limit restriction from the telco CO is because beyond that, the losses in that cable are to great. (or so I have been told...)
Now, I know that the there is very little loss in fiber, so what's their beef?
What has to happen if there is fiber between the CO and the residence is that where the fiber connects to copper, there needs to be a DSLAM. The DSLAM is what makes DSL work (this is oversimplified yes, but for all intents and purposes it is true) and the DSLAM must connect to a copper pair that is copper all the way to the residence.
The remote terminals then act as a mini-CO, allowing for DSL to be expanded in terms of distance. Make sense?
