Re: Duh.. said by Skippy25:To compete with Cable, DSL needs lines to be shorter than 1000ft.
Well I guess that all depends on your definition of "compete."
VDSL2 can deliver 15Mbp/s rates out to 3kft and 8 to about 7kft.
But you are correct Cable is able to deliver significant speed over the coaxial portion of the network between the node and customer.
Another important consideration is how well the ISP has provisioned their internal network and peering. Fast first-mile access is wasted if they are unable to move the data within their network and get it to the Internet.

| VDSL2 can do better than that. 50mbps at 3300ft without bonding. 100mbps can be achieved if within 1600ft, still without bonding. Finland has several providers offering 100mbps on VDSL2. |

AT&T is actually retiring ADSL equipment in their 22 states as they move users to "IPDSLAM"; which is either ADSL2+, or VDSL, depending on the location.
MT is CenturyLink, yes?
