Part 2: Let's pretend we wake up later this morning, and the phone company has installed full ADSL to my house. What does that mean? Last time I checked it went something like this: I get a box of some sort, that has a few, rusty copper wires coming out of it, that sits down/over in my telephone closet. (When I wake up I want it to be done right.) Now, on the other end of those 28 guage, one twist per foot wires is the nearest hut (I'd call it a 'Slick Hut' but then I'd have to post this on the "Did Slick Boink Monica" thread) and the wires terminate into some full ADSL equipment. WOW! I now have a gazillion megabit connection to the hole at the end of the street. What else is in that hole except for my neighbors' gazillion megabit connections and a couple of T-1s back to the CO? You see, I just don't think the infastructure is there to provide us with really good "stuff" just becase I get the final copper pairs upgraded to higher data rate short haul modems. But I do know the solution: A MAX TNT under every manhole cover. Jack PS: Sorry, I'm getting tired. I've been out scuba diving all night.
