California provider lights up ADSL network ahead of schedule

[[From Americas Network Magazine:

By David Kopf


Orconet, an Orange and San Jose, Calif.-based service provider has lit up
asymmetrical digital subscriber line (ADSL) service for Southern California's
Los Angeles and Orange counties earlier than expected.

"We are the first company to offer this service in Los Angeles and Orange
counties," says John Leon, Orconet's network development officer. "The
service has been available in parts of Pasadena and North Hollywood for a
couple weeks, but as of today, it is available through most of Orange and Los
Angeles counties. We expect to be offering our high-speed connectivity to
many more counties throughout California by the end of the month."

Orconet's ADSL service is offered in two tiers; 384 kbps upstream /384 kbps
downstream, or 384 kbps upstream/1.5 Mbps downstream. The service
provider's backbone users packet over Sonet technology and asynchronous
transfer mode (ATM). Also, Orconet uses a border gateway protocol (BGP)
to optimize routes across multiple independent Internet protocol (IP)
backbones to provide shortest-path routing for its Internet traffic.
