they need improved switching and increased bandwidth in order for dsl to take. cable modems are having more influence DSL is a technology for increasing bandwidth. It is competitive to cable. I don't understand why you think it would be necessary to increase bandwidth for it to be adopted. every pc in the U.S. (North America inclusive) will need to be replaced once bandwidth changes are fully implemented. Any particular reason why this is so? Most "last mile" technologies don't come anywhere near the speeds that a PC can handle. In these days of gigabit ethernet and fibre channel, 8 mbps download speeds are puny and that's the very fastest DSL speeds. Hard drives with fibre channel interconnects can handle up to 10 gigabits per second. Most retail NIC cards can handle 100 mbps. Most so called "broadband" connections are only at 1.5 mbps. (That's what my cable modem will do.) The PC isn't the bottleneck so I'm wondering why you think there is some dramatic redesign imminent.
