Re: AT&T is deluding itself
Huh? Do you know anything about FTTC platforms? The 1.5 limitation is a limitation of the 1st generation IFITL platform which composes a small part of the BST FTTC network and is schecduled for a complete overhaul sometime in the future. It's only stuck at 1.5 because Tellabs abandoned the platform for the most part and never came out with upgrades. The MX platform fully supports high bandwidth applications and the VDSL2 stuff isn't that far off.
And the RT doesn't "amplify" a DSL signal to allow greater range. It simply acts as the CO DSLAM would out in the field. The magic number for ADSL2+ is 5k for that. Which is something BST is pursuing. |

I think bogey780 is a BLS or SBC employee???
Ask BLS DSL ifitl customers how bad BLS fiber is. They will tell you: 1.5 mg, that's it???? I can't upgrade? What blithering moron decided that crap??? I can't home network without a MCSE certification and a $5000 router in my house???
3,000 ft is only little over 1/2 mile from the home. Now if these morons would put RTs out, you could get DSL 6.0 up to 18,000 ft from the home (whopping 3 miles+).

1 mile frmm the DSLAM for ADSL2+. VDSL2 is about 800ft which is well within range for the plant design.
Currently the upgrades Bell is deploying are in order to make this likely. By next year there should be about a 50-55% availability and by 2009 it'll be 75-80%. |
