| Lightspeed, 3000ft?

We're seeing, on project Lightspeed, you know 30 to 40 megabits [per second] at 3,000 feet [away from the central office], so we’re not too concerned about that
thats not even a mile, shouldnt they make it that fast no matter what range from the CO? im sure the tech is there if they just rip out all the 1950s copper.

Ingersoll, ON | Sure but if they do that they might as well lay fiber instead of new copper which they're not willing to do at this point. |

It's from the fiber terminal not the CO. Those are going in the 'hood and almost all LS customers are within 3000 feet of one (in theory).

I live less than 1 mile from the CO, and I had 3000/512 (couldn't qualify for 6000/608). It was recently downgraded to 1984/512 as there was too much noise on the line (outside). Might as well say 1/10 may get 30-40Mbps  |

Norwich, NY | How is repair where you live. I am at 18000 plus and connect at 1600, am only limited to that because the town has not yet been upgraded. |
