[HarvardNet, ADSL "tests", and LADS lines] << Bottom line, this supports the contention that much of the copper infrastructure is just not ready to run ADSL effectively (if at all, depending on manufacturer), or be set up easily. >> Disagree. HarvardNet is using LADS lines: "This is because HarvardNet and many other service providers rely on so-called burglar alarm or local- area data service (LADS) circuits they acquire from local exchange carriers (LEC).
