 Basil6 join:2002-06-30 Terre Hill, PA 1 edit | here a D-SLAM there a D-SLAM everywhere a D-SALM It is simple greed on the part of the Telco. Anyone can provide DSL via CO-LOCATION of their D-SLAM in the telco's cages (In fact the telcos charge the dsl providers a fee for this) so when they say it's technically not possible, they are in fact lying - BLATANTLY ! The pair that runs from your local telco to you is JUST THAT, a separate pair of wires carrying DT to you. The DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is attached to that pair from THE PROVIDER'S D-SLAM. So in Verizon's Closet, you can have D-SLAMs owned by COVAD, MCI, EARTHLINK, etc, etc,. It is the almighty D-SLAM that provides the network connectivity to you. The DT has absolutely nothing to do with the DSL Connection except that the ONE EXISTENT PAIR OF WIRES (between you and the local Telco) carries the signals to and from the D-SLAM. Don't be fooled by the telco Employees.
Nuff Said P.S. I worked for Verizon, I have seen the configuration, It'z a no Brainer! |
