vdsl has great pottential in big citys such as new york, chicago, la, ect. but definetly not on the smaller citys. with a distance of 4000 ft the company is gonna want to get most peopl it can and that can only be acheived in big cities.
with the robust cable systems and wifi and power lines, this stands littel chance.
Maybe my logic is dumb, but a quick spell check failed to find any spelling errors.
No comment on trolling.
If a provider has invested significant capital in upgrading a network, in order to achieve ROI (return on investment) they are -obviously- going to attempt to keep that network in operation until it has paid for itself, and god forbid.. become profitable.
This is precisely why I hope that when the networks *are* upgraded, it is done with a 'future proof' solution: a well-implemented all-fiber network.
VDSL is just another barrier in the way of real progress. [text was edited by author 2003-08-31 14:47:32]
