kudos:2 | Nice news It's great to see all this news about higher speeds over copper.
The thing that sucks of course, is if, like myself, you are stuck in a non-competitive area, where it doesn't really matter what speeds they could be offering.

Maybe wimax will come (I can see a tower from my house) and leave in a good populated afluent area. FIOS will come though.. FIOS will come... only a town away. | |

| | Additional Plant Req'd The attached links seem to indicate that RTs will be req'd for this, so it will take a significant effort to deploy this in the wild. This might be appealing to someone like Quest, who has no other next-gen plant improvements planned, and maybe some smaller ILECs. However, I don't see the bigger ILECs being able to use this.
Does anyone know if this is supposed to work over single pairs, or is bonding necessary? | |

kudos:20 | Re: Additional Plant Req'd If Bell can sprinkle ADSL2+ remote DSLAMs everywhere, why not? | |
|
| | | Everything needs RTs. It's the reason why Mesa cabinets have been in huge demand for a decade or so.
This will probably never fly for the telcos as they've already made their decision and the incremental increase may not justify it. | |

kudos:1 | Also remember CLECs dont do RTs. So the only hope of this ever being installed anywhere is the ILEC, and if they haven't done ADSL2 by now, they sure wont do this. | |
|
| | | They do not bond. This specification is single pair. Ot is significant when AT&Ts u-verse is only offered to 3000ft. | |

They already have and do research as it has been around for quite some time and used extensively. It's only recently been made available directly to the homes. If we had the patience and wisdom to spend more money on a completely wireless solution, we would not have to rely on any cable for transmission. But we are years away from this level of advanced technology. Someday. | |

Verizon is nothing more than a lame chicken shit phone company that can't ever service their existing infrastructure. | |

|
| | | | | | | Re: Impressive for copper, but.... Bellsouth had over a million customers within a few hundred feet of fiber (FTTC) and a huge remote deployment schedule that put fiber within 3 miles of the bulk of their customers. They weren't shy about deploying the stuff. Only when Verizon did FiOS did they actually go beyond Bellsouth. | |

kudos:1 | Did they ever offer speeds over 1.5mbit over that fiber hahahahaha!!!!! They never used any of that fiber for higher speeds over the lowest tier ADSL (1.5). Atleast they future proofed. But now ATT will tear out all that fiber and put in copper for Uverse. | |
|
| | | | Got that right. They (Verizon) say my address doesn't exist and I live in the Bay Area 35 miles from SF and 37 miles from San Jose. I can't get bette rthan 3.0/384 over copper because the Telcos are milking the dsl markewt big time and won't spend a nickel on infrastructure upggrades. Funny that COVAD/ELNK could find my address!! | |
|
| | | wait what made ma bell the people to root for? ITs obvious that eventuaslly they will be back to their own practices. Cable will switch to all fiber when its cheaper to do so . | |
|
| | | It will be years before Verizon or anyone else pushes fiber to the masses. There current 18 billion$ push will only reach a percentage of their customers. | |

kudos:20 | Not that big an improvement This is nice, but it's not quite as big an improvement as they state, as they're understating the capabilities of existing technologies. ADSL2+ should do about 19mbit at 6000 feet, and their tech supposedly does 26mbit.
That's an improvement, yes, but they're claiming "existing technologies" do 15mbit at 5500 feet, when it's closer to 20mbit with ADSL2+ in reality. | |

kudos:20 | Re: Not that big an improvement Bell Canada rolled out ADSL2+ service to the general public a while ago, offering 7/1 and 16/1 tiers. Unfortunately, wholesalers (as the CRTC (our version of the FCC) requires them to share the DSLAMs) are not yet permitted to use ADSL2+ profiles, only g.dmt.
We're hopeful that the larger wholesalers will be able to offer ADSL2+ services some time this year. Providers that colocate their own DSLAMs in Bell's COs already are able to offer ADSL2+ services in very limited areas, but the only company with decent coverage has an incredibly bad reputation/service quality. | |
|
| | Is AT&T an investor? The company's draft Release 1.0 of the Internet Protocol Subscriber Line' specification calls for a semiconductor to drive data at fiber-like speeds over the existing copper telephone lines. ROFLMAO! Fiber-like speeds? Fiber can do those speeds on a BAD day. | |
|
| | Cool but is it spectrally compatible with DSLs I don't believe this speed reflects a real world deployment since it is not standardized and not spectrally compatible with DSLs. If this technology is not spectrally compatible with T1.417 you can forget about it being deployed by any Telcos and/or co-locators. Maybe for intrabuilding networks but you know what happend to Cisco's LRE....  | |

kudos:1 | Re: Cool but is it spectrally compatible with DSLs Yep, bigger question is, will the ILEC even allow a CLEC to install it, presuming the CLEC will want to (Covad is the exception for CLEC who upgrades past ILEC tech). If this is approved by the ILEC, will residential ever see this? or will this be some fractional T3 deliver system, with high install costs since there is no mass production discount? | |

| | where's my copper spool? Maybe, just maybe, if I actually string a wire from my nearest CO to my house, and pull it nice and taut with a winch, I might get just under 5.5KF.
Nope. About 15KF too far, still. Thanks, though. | |
|
| | Right On! There are plenty of places where fiber ain't gonna happen. Any technology that can really the push the envelope on the existing copper plant is welcome.
The real question is economic - whether the telcos will seize the opportunity, if there is enough opportunity, and sell the bandwidth at a price agreeable to consumers.
So far, with DSL, they've been fairly competitive, but I think that's mostly thanks to the cable-internet bankruptcies (writing off the $50B investment) and the line-sharing requirements that forced them to resell. With those off the table, I doubt telco will be motivated to price 40mbps for less than $100/month. | |

| | BFD Wow - high speeds - who cares?
Why dangle these high speeds in front of us, then cap us from using the connection. I just have to laugh at these stories... | |
|
| | | Re: BFD AMEN- all this "BS talk " about these fantastic speeds is nothing but hot air if the infrastructure isn't there. They can crow all they want about this new protocol or that new deployment. It doesn't work on the infrastructure in place and the TELCO's aren't going to spend the money to build the infrastructure because they're getting premium dollars for crap service and delivery as it is it for far too many geographies. The consumer is clamoring for real 21st century performance/delivery and those who own the infrastructure aren't listening. Why spend all that money when you are getting the big bucks up front for Y2K products | |
|
| | Might be worth evaluating... Providers might want to evaluate this new flavor of DSL, especially if it is IP native and removes ATM from the picture, thereby eliminating the cell tax. | |
