Yes, 2.5 miles you can still get 3/768. Have you ever used this kind of service (Lucent Stinger DSLAMs)? Do you know anything about it? Again, I reiterate that cable has had too big of an influence on the perception of DSL. Yes, cable (depending on the provider) is really good, but so is this, and it costs less. May want to do a little research before you just dismiss the possibility based on your media-influenced opinions.
Yes i've had DSL. Been rated at 3mbps, but couldn't top 1.2mbps. Good ol DSL. It's good that you can get 3/768 at 2.5 miles. Most cant. Until it's the norm and not the exception, i'll repeat: 2.5 miles my ass. OTOH, i don't think the consumer should have to be concerned if Lucent Stinger DSLAMs are used, or whatever else. It shouldn't be the consomers duty to go find out what DSLAMs are used, what modems are used, what kind of quality telephone wire was used, the wire-distance from the CO, etc... Provide what you advertise, or GTFOtheway. You may want to get your head out of your ass and stop ASSuming you know what i have/haven't done. |
