| Voice limits distance I work for an independent telco and deploy ADSL daily.
The biggest distance problem with ADSL is not the data,
its voice. For the phone line to carry voice for more
than about 18k, we must install load coils, which are
inductors that cancel out the capacitance of the
line. They pass voice great but kill DSL. ADSL is only
a winner for telcos if they can use the same pair for
both voice and data.
Where our company has extra copper pairs available,
we will run a second pair to the home for DSL and
unload it. We have had reliable ADSL doing this out
to 30 kft. |
