| Re: Great Synch Though said by bogey780  :FTTx? Don't you mean FTTP? This isn't a bandwidth problem so why are you ranting about it? I'm using it because an earlier poster used it.
The "lowercase" x indicates the initial in the acronym is interchangeable with another letter.
Like FTTH is Fiber To The Home, and FTTP Fiber To The Premises. Some people use either term or the other. The earlier poster in this case, instead of choosing one or the other, substituted the lowercase x wherever the P or H would've been....
Some other examples are using the term Tx instead of the entire word "treatment".
I don't think it really applies to the prescription symbol "Rx" (where the x crosses the leg of the R) as I believe that's an abbreviation for the Latin word recipe / take.
