I really hate to say this but I've just found out most of these communities that are getting rural broadband aren't getting a real unshared DSL link.
From what I understand the ISP I use is renting a T1 for this area and they have upward of 20 users on it. The USVC fund is going to the rental cost of this T1!
What I see here is a company not willing to make the CO DSL Complete instead they are hooking up a single T1 and putting multiple users on it. T1 is 1500/1500 in most cases DSL max is 1000/128. If you have 3 users online downloading at full bandwidth your downloads are 500/128. It works but the link is far from being DSL enabled.

| I think people get confused by the hype that xDSL offerings provide "unshared" facilities unlike cable-based systems. I never could see why users bought into that nonsense, as if their provider gave them a direct, unshared pipe to the Internet backbone.
The power of TLAs, I suppose. |
