| Yes, but they could put up a Remote Terminal further out and deploy DSL to greater distances than that. They just don't want to spend the $$.

| Yes, we could put DSL into remote terminals, but do you know the cost for doing this. It costs more to install DSL in a remote terminal than it does to put it into the central office. If you consider a bullseye of +/- 3 miles for each site and then try to cover the entire U.S., do you realize how many you need to install?
I'm sure someone ambitious could get the figure, but I think I have proven my point without it. |

| go fiber, cheaper in the long run due to less maintenance and if you wnat me to pay the $1000 to run it to my home, at least that is the price i see floating around that it will cost the telco's to run fiber to each home, let me go and grab the credit card/ checkbook, i know a lot of people in their late twenties to mid thirties like myself that are tired of waiting and if we have to pay out of our pockets to have it then we are willing to do so. we do not like being left behind in the world of technology. so if bellsouth exec's read this bring it i will pay it! just bring it to middle tennessee! |
