NO, this is fundamentally wrong (and pure DSL marketing B.S.).


No, this is not pure DSL marketing B.S. The problem is that much of the existing cable was setup with only broadcast in mind and not for Internet access, whereas everyone phone lines are inherently setup for bi-directional, point-to-point. This is one of the main reasons why the cable to the home needs to be upgraded, so that there is no performance bottleneck into the home.
