SEEMINGLY NEVER ONE to think that something is fast enough as it is, Centillium is up to its tricks again. Only a month ago the company said that it had managed to get ADSL working at 20Mbps. Now the company has a new product that is backwards compatible with ADSL that can reach a downstream of 50Mbps over an ordinary copper network. The new technology, eXtremeDSLMAX, is capable of running at up to 3Mbps upstream to go with the phenomenal downstream rate. The range is also fairly good with a maximum of 7Km, though Centillium does not say what speed a service would be reduced to at that distance.
