"But I suspect that most small businesses don't need more than a single T1 (one pair HDSL2), and if they do grow, they don't need more than 2 T1s (two pairs of HDSL). At that point the question is will their growth be satisfied by two pairs or do you force a move to fiber"

justone- I wasn't sure why you thought a telco would be interested in pulling a fiber to customer(along with the resultant, very expensive, CPE and CO optical equipment) when HDSL2 would be the cheapest answer by far. Isn't this going to be the classic case where HDSL2 will play right into.....oh after I re-read you comment you assumme they have a spare copper pair. But from what I understand, copper exhaust is a big problem in access lines.

Assumme copper exhaust is a problem -- Then the literal doubling of T1 capacity can be gained by HDSL2. Seems to me it's quite compelling for a telco to roll it out.

What do you think? Thanks. -MikeM(From Florida)
