Austin, TX | Uh huh.. If you ask me they need to start working on making DSL around the 3mbps mark travel further distances rather than jacking up the speed only so you have to be close to the CO

1 edit | most users (80+%) are connected through RT, 7500ft radius which is good enough for the 6mb. Beside it's advertised as 1.5-6. You dont get 6mb unless you're within 5Kft. |

Many people are within 8500ft of the CO and would love to see speeds like that. I'm within about 5000ft of my CO, and if Bellsouth decided to offer speeds like that, I'd be all over it like rich nympho at a whorehouse.

Same deal for me. 4150ft from my wirecenter (RT). Sprint/Centel has no plans to offer DSL at that wirecenter till 2008, and even then its iffy. Ironically, this wirecenter hosts more subscribers than another wirecenter further out the road that is already dsl ready. Private sector providers suck donkey balls. I wish Florida jumped on the bandwagon like Utah's UTOPIA project. Instead we make constitutional amendments for a high speed intrastate rail system. :\

 It's because of all those old people that live in Florida. They're afraid of computers and still think trains are the best form of travel... |
