Sure it does. Anyone on an RT can get whatever speeds are sold by that ISP.
They can sync. up at the max speed based on the distance from these offices, however, that does not mean they will get 1500k once in sync. with 1500k. It depends on the ATM's delivering the bandwidth to the customers. Cable in the past has been known to have problems with bandwidth but those companies have since gone under. I have checked into cable in several different markets and people are actually getting over what they pay for. Where as DSL you will never get 768k if on that package. My neighbor never has even hit 760kbps.... The technology is unstable.... Very. |

I work at an ISP and sell DSL daily... Speed has nothing to do with the CO or RT.
Sure it does. Anyone on an RT can get whatever speeds are sold by that ISP. That aside and having nothing to do with what we are getting at.
The whole node thing. Sure everyone in an area shares their CO or RT. And from those COs and RTs everyone shares up to the Access Concentrator (usually a redback but juniper is starting to make it's way into the market.) Everyone on the different ACs have to share that AC with others on it. And then from the AC everyone has to share the internet pipes. The better DSL ISPs have made sure that the COs, RTs, and ACs have enough capacity to never be running at full. Whereas with cable nodes are almost always oversold so speeds fluctuate for a lot of people. People not on oversold nodes don't have these problems.
So it's not really an issue on DSL for Cable as much as who's ISP is overselling their equipment.
