No, the "problem" and the advantage is that ADSL is done over cheap copper lines, not deer fiber optics. Due to the high frequencies used, the capacity and quality of the line severely hampers speed.

My brother has his corporate Intranet over ADSL rather than ISDN
ADSL gives him maximum 12x64K = 768K over a leased line. It must be a leased line as the others have band pass filters and are not capable of transmitting the high frequencies needed for 768K or as AVCO states 9M.

You can very loosely compare it with a coax cable which might not exceed a certain length either...

AVCO thread count and impotance (1900%) rises like AVCO stock price, irrational exuberant.
