Maybe if we got enough people to sign a petition we can get crosstalk considerations removed from the ADSL2+ protocol spec!

Yeah, if only there were a technology that offered faster upstream speeds! Gosh, we're just sunk.

Name a technology that Qwest could deploy at the same or lower costs than their FTTN ADSL2+ offering that would allow those faster upstream speeds.

There's nothing to stop you from ordering 2 lines and doing this yourself today.

Not going to happen since true line bonding requires support at the ISP end as well as the subscriber end.

No ISP support necessary. You just need to have a box somewhere with sufficient bandwidth (ie, a server at a local data center) and establish a multilink PPP session to that.

*sigh* An FTTH deployment would not be the same or lower cost to that of their FTTN deployment.

None. That's why I stick with Cable, because they can.

Gosh, if only the whiners would get together and put up $20 billion, they could build the "perfect" network instead of bitching about what everyone else isn't doing for them.

Yes, Qwest shouldn't have to spend MORE money! God, how dare some suggest that they may be better off with a more expensive choice- haven't those unlucky enough to hold shares in Q suffered enough?

Qwest dug themselves into this pit with all their debt, but now I don't really see how they can do anything else- they simply don't have the capability to make huge expensive deployments like telecom mega-conglomerates VZ and T.

Screw fiber to the home or DOCSIS 3.0, let's all order 2 DSL lines, co-locate a server in a data center, pay for our bandwidth there, just so we can get 1.8Mbps upstream!

Whooo!

I do remote desktop over 3Mbps/512kbps - and it works just fine. As far as uploading large files...get off Windows platform, and use Solaris/Linux/HP-UX and Java/Weblogic

What exactally does Windows have to do with the size of a download? Last I checked, Linux ISOs/DVDs are pretty large too...

No kidding. A much cheaper alternative would be to order two lines and connect them to a dual-WAN router. Although I'm not sure if you can max out both lines with only one connection (say, uploading a large file to a server).
