Re: ADSL2+ speed could be up to 25Mbps

said by altdel See Profile:

According the the ADSL2+ standard, speed could be as high as 25Mbps (under ~3000 ft), 20Mbps (under ~5000 ft), 10Mbps (under ~8K), 6Mbps (~10,000 ft), 4Mbps (~12,000 ft) etc.

So, why only 4-6Mbps?
Because their competition isn't at over 6 Mbps.

Cable can go up to 38 Mbps, but I don't see cable companies offering 38 Mbps (though that probably has a bit to do with the fact that they're overloaded nodes would crumble ).

I thought the driving force for deploying ADSL2+ is Triple Play, i.e., Data, voice & video. The cable companies have all three services and the Telcos only have data and voice.

Maybe they'll announce their broadcast TV, Video-on-demand services later on....
