Faster Technologies

Hopefully, although unlikely, it would be nice to see Verizon deploy faster ADSL2+ lines, as it seems they are starting to use the protocols in some areas already with the same speeds as most of their ADSL lines. It would be a nice gap-bridge to tide over DSL users until some of these more remote areas are lucky enough to be reached by the Fios service.

I am using Verizon lines from CO to home but Cavalier DSL to get speeds like this
(10 mbps down and 903 kbps up. I only get 2.8mbps down and 768 kbps up with Verizon). Standalone DSL here is $34.95 with Verizon and $39.95 with Cavalier (3X the speed for $5). Just have to watch the billing and customer support with Cavalier like a hawk. But many have the same issues with Verizon (including me).

Anyone know a good reason why Verizon does this stuff.

I live close enough to my RT to cook my dinner on it, but all they'll give me is 3 MBS down.

What gives?

Higher speeds mean more trouble and the sticky tube from the CO to the ISP will have to be made less sticky.

I forgot to mention that I am 5000 feet from the CO and get 10mbps. I also am using a Zoom X6 adsl wireless modem/router which further bumps up the speed. The Cavalier tech I met lives very close to his CO and gets 13mbps down. But I do see that the average for Cavalier on dslreports is lower. DSL reports does not yet resolve my IP address correctly to Cavalier (unlike speed test.net) so my results don't impact the dslreports average for Cavalier.
