<<From all I hear, telcos want the full ADSL, not G.Lite, even if they do start with the lesser speeds to get the market primed. They have to have enough speed to compete with cable. This means 6 to 8 Mbps ADSL and eventually 52Mbps VDSL.>> Has progress been made in xDSL with respect to signal attenuation on the last mile of copper ? From everything I've seen and heard, the local copper is pretty spliced up (average 19 splices per last mile ?) and ratty in most of the country. I think around here BellSouth still will only guarantee 9600 kbps (though most of the time it will support 28.8 or 33). No doubt large cities will get xDSL first, but for it to be rolled out across the nation, someone is going to have to do a massive clean-up of local copper. If this problem has been mitigated, I would love to know, as I would love to see xDSL widespread. Have enjoyed following your posts. jww
