| Re: DSL DSL, ADSL, ADSL2+, and most DSL technologies have one enourmous drawback. To get more upload then about 1 Mbps, you pretty much need to live right next to the CO.
VDSL can give you up to about 5 Mbps upstream provided you are actually within 800ft of the CO or something like that. U-Verse from AT&T has 1.5 Mbps upload, BUT you have to be close to a DSLAM for that.
Telco's need to switch to fiberoptics to get the powerusers. My cable company offers 15/2 connections (for businesses, I have 10/1 but i think they will upgrade everyone). NO telco is going to give me that (I am 11000 ft from the CO) unless they run fiber into my home.

Annex M gives ADSL2+ up to 3Mbps upload speed yet these guys aren't even offering it.. makes you wonder..

Screw fiber to the home or DOCSIS 3.0, let's all order 2 DSL lines, co-locate a server in a data center, pay for our bandwidth there, just so we can get 1.8Mbps upstream!

Although I'm not sure if you can max out both lines with only one connection (say, uploading a large file to a server). A dual WAN router just doesn't cut it. I'm not sure what algorithms it uses, but I assume most websites are smart enough to not allow loading of password protected resources from 2 different IPs with the exact same cookie, or sign out the 1st IP immediately if a 2nd IP trys to access a resource. Also a dual WAN router, AFAIK, can't cut up an image into a 2 Partial transfers, buffer the image in its RAM, then once the entire image is in RAM, pretend to be an HTTP server (hijacking the existing connection) to the PC and deliver the image under 1 HTTP connection. Just tunnel it to a datacenter and ressemble the tunnels into 1 tunnel. | |

Qwest dug themselves into this pit with all their debt, but now I don't really see how they can do anything else- they simply don't have the capability to make huge expensive deployments like telecom mega-conglomerates VZ and T. | |

Having a hard time mustering up too much sympathy The difference is LOS and the fact that bandwidth is not shared. Consumers are not paying for this and THAT is why the pricing model for consumer internet service is cheaper. Overselling is built into the pricing model.

I don't need more bandwidth, i need shorter routing Be nice if my internet didn't go 2-3000 miles to get across the street (ok, it's really 2 whole blocks!) :/ At the speed of light, information can pass around the equator of the planet seven times in a second [thus it is possible that the furthest point on the planet, if connected via fiber, would only add an additional 7ms latency in one direction]. Routing across the country can affect latency a bit, perhaps 10ms in some cases, but if it does this to avoid congestion at another point, then you are getting a net latency gain over choosing a geographically closer but over utilized route. In other words, you read way to much into the physical locations of your route. | |

| Yawn And exactly how many providers make a big stink about upstream speeds in terms of marketing?
Up until very recently, a lot providers were only offering in the neighborhood of 386k to 768k upstream- some still do. Given the choice, most would have the higher downstream than a higher upstream at the expense of downstream speed.
If a work from home "power user" needs faster upstream speeds, switch to a provider or service that offers it. Problem solved. | |

| Re: upload speeds are a joke ISP's wide Cable DOCSIS and Telco DSL were designed based on a passive consumption model. There were engineering and business reasons for the trade-off.
As Internet matures part of its promise is a more egalitarian communication model where there are many, rather then a privileged few, content providers. That is why I prefer term First-Mile rather then Last-Mile to describe customer access network. That change is putting severe strain on broadband business model used by most ISPs.
FTTP, like Verizon's FIOS, is the only real long term solution to deliver massive bandwidth to support both video libraries and large scale content creation and telecommuting.
