lml,

Thanks for those helpful comments.

They don't specify ADSL, they say DSL which includes [within the xDSL family] a member called IDSL. The second component of the release which leads me to think that it's IDSL is the fact that IDSL is the least powerful in the pecking order of DSLs, and therefore Earthlink might have been reluctant to highlight that fact on Day 1. Thirdly, UUnet was the SP who pioneered a nationwide rollout of IDSL about a year and a half ago, which makes it a fit.

In all likelihood Earthlink will eventually wind up providing multiple flavors of xDSL, anyway. This was merely some musing on my part for discussion purposes (about which I may very well be wrong) and an attempt at academic exercise in second-guessing their PR folks. But we shall see.

Regards, Frank Coluccio
