|  remote terminals. 3000/768 yes or no ?
okay i keep seeing posts satying if your on an r/t you cant get the 3000/768.to me it seems kinda crazy that im on a fiber network to the terminal.the terminal was installed about a year ago and all its capable of is 1.5/384.that cant be right.i called verizon today but because my new account hasnt even reached the ready date yet so she couldnt tell me if i could get it or not.(ive been on the connection for over a week).free connection yay.
so if anyone knows, mebbe somone from verizon.
can i get or will i be able to get 3000/786 in the near future?

Piscataway, NJ | Verizon has to raise the speed on the RT. You can probably ask Verizon tech support or supervisor about it. Maybe down the line, they will raise it. |

| So if I ordered DSL and I am on a RT the fastest I can get is only 1500/384K? Is this for all areas?

Looks that way. I've not seen anyone on Verizon get the 3.0 mbit down speed from a RT. |

It depends on the transport used for the DSLAM/ASAM. Be it a DS1 or DS3. That is what dictates the max bandwidth of the DSL switch. Also is dependent on the type of switch used. Usually a 45MBPS switch allows for higher speeds.
But RT's are capable of the 3M/768 speeds. It just depends on the transport and switch speed.
Not all of them are capable of the higher speeds. |

When I talked to billing today, they didn't know what RT was. And I'm too far away from CO even for my current 1.5M service.
At that point, I didn't know what to tell them, so I dropped my call. |

I wonder what would be worse for customer morale - to have a blanket rule that no RT-based customers can get 3/768 (which seems to be the one in effect) or to selectively release the upgrade to customers on properly configured RTs.
Under the current circumstances my morale is plenty low.  Gotta keep telling myself that 1.5/384 was such a wonderful improvement. Heck, gotta keep telling myself that I was on satellite for 2 1/2 years until Verizon lit up my neighborhood's RT.
What's most annoying are the guffaws that result from the thought of trying to get anybody at Verizon to tell us anything about a plan or schedule to support 3/768 from RTs. Don Quixote is a cynical street hustler compared to the impossible dreamer who entertains that thought.

I will tell you what is messed up. I am in a new community, and less than 1k YES 1k feet (this is what Verizon tells me) from the RT and no 3.0/768.:(
I know my signals will be top notch though:p atleast I can get the 384 up for 29.95 permanently which is cool. Id still want the 3.0 grrrrrr
P.S. What does a remote terminal look like? Im just curious, since I know the CO is an actual building, is the RT like one of those telephone switchbox thingies??

Well from what I hear the speed will be available from RT's in the future. Here are some links with pictures of RT's.
