Re: "10-15% of it's plant cable modem ready"
SteveG: I've heard/read all the physical limitations that you mention, but ~70% of the existing plant can handle ADSL. All your points about load coils, bridge taps, > 18,000ft limit, etc, but your seem to forget that cable only has 10-15% of it's plant cable modem ready. I think it's actually closer to 10%, but I'll assume cable will
eventually hit 15%.
OK... I'll claim that 30% of the lines have load coils, bridge taps, > 18,000 ft distance problems today.
Well stated bill.
I'll add, that I will not be using a cable modem and having to use my phone line for the upstream. No, thank you very much.
