Re: You won't beleive this...
said by RandomZero  :DSL blows unless you're next door to the CO, and even then it isn't all that desirable. Tell that to the Koreans, and the Japanese (with their 50 mbps and 100mbps DSL Internet).

And as far as technology goes, they basically invent the shit.. |

Distance from the CO plays a large part in max speeds you can obtain.
Thus, with everyone being so close, those countries can make advancements that won't be available anywhere else.
Also, Tommyastro. If you're so much better than the "Dot Heads" in customer support. Why exactly did you call them in the first place? Genious like you should have been able to solve your own issues. |

Why exactly did you call them in the first place? Genious like you should have been able to solve your own issues. Because, no matter how good you may be with computers and networking, there are some things you just aren't going to be able to do. Your ISP isn't exactly going to allow just anyone to say, walk into their data center and reboot a router, or even open one of their lovely green boxes that litter your neighborhood, let alone do anything with it. Nor are they going to let you log into their network remotely to make changes to your account--that has to be done over the phone or through the website assuming their website offers such features.
So, yeah, even the geekiest of geeks will have to call a drone once in a while, if for no other reason than to subscribe and later cancel. But that's just assuming too perfect a world.

Thus, with everyone being so close, those countries can make advancements that won't be available anywhere else. The distance from the CO only matters if the DSLAMs are relegated to COs. However, the U.S. telcos have been pushing DSLAMs closer to the customers than COs.
The size of the nation has nothing to do with the speed of DSL. It does affect the cost of deployment, but that is another matter, entirely.
