Re: How is this service is not hindered by distance

If I understand this right, the phones are powered by the DSLAM. When a call is made, it's caught at the DSLAM, then goes straight over Covad's IP network. It never touches the Bell's PSTN.

Distance only affects DSL sync rates. Since these calls aren't made over DSL, Covad can reach a greater range of potential customers using their own network.
