Re: "Unlimited" is a BEAUTIFUL Word
said by DaDogs  :said by KAD Imaging :said by tpeng :...Because forthright honesty is the greatest enemy of marketing  Bingo! TRULY UNLIMITED DSL Vs. MOSTLY "Umm..limited" Cable Which would you choose? Now this is where I have to get off. Truly unlimited DSL that actually delivered promissed speeds is one thing and as a matter of fact, a rare thing. you also forget that you have to be within a certan distance to get DSL.
my cable is uncapped/unrestricted has higher speed and costs less then most of the stuff i see in the states, why ?, because the company has a huge advantage over AT&T, it's mostly rural where i am. |

I didn't forget that DSL is distance sensitive. I am an ISP and have delivered both SDSL over bare copper and resold Verizon DSL.
Cable doesn't have the kind of distance limitation that DSL has but being rural isn't always helpful. The cable carrier in our area has more than 200 subs going thru a T-1 gateway. Clearly speed is relative

There are technical means such as microwave to new headends to overcome this limitation, but the point is that it is not possible to have an "infinite" number of amps in a cascade.
Well, you can...it just won't work, that's all.

What is the limitation on cascaded amplifiers in a cable chain? How far can one go on one amp (generally) and how many amps are allowed in a chain?
Thanks
