Re: Yawn - wake me up when they actually deploy it

What we need is LDDSL! That's Long Distance DSL.
No don't call it long distance. The phone companies will want to charge you by the minute if you use that term.

I agree it seems that the biggest hurdle remaining for DSL is to increase the usable distance. I've read of repeater type solutions to increase distance. Why won't phone companies take that step to increase availability?

This is just yet more promises that will never be fulfilled.

I got excited about DSL when I first heard of it (a many years ago!). Didn't do me any good. Until we can get Verizon to deploy DSL in RT's, it's a pretty useless technology in my town.

What we need is LDDSL! That's Long Distance DSL.

Or for the FCC to force Verizon to let COVAD deploy equipment in the RT's. Then we might actually get rural broadband.
