you can get it in like a few parts of san francisco, and pheonix? for vdsl at least. on the webpage, you can get 2mbps service (up to 5000ft away) or the fast one, i forget something like 5 or 10mbps but i remember the distance: 2500ft from CO. what they need to do is expand the distance of these technologies rather then the speed. the speed has always existed. we all know that twised pair is capable of 38mbps asynchronous. there are ways dsl can be expanded but its very expensive. i was reading in a book that it is possible to be able to get dsl as easily as 56k, but the telco companies have to buy costly equiptment and lots of it. 56k analog signals can be boosted to handle long distances. digital ones cannot. at least with the current technology. i say fiber up every house in america.

the best you can get in phoenix is 1mbps and that is pretty much useless due to the amount of ports they filter. *yawn*. on the upside, vdsl customers have had success getting qwest to turn interleaving off on their vdsl.
