To All: While you are at it, make sure you read my responses on the ADI thread as well! :)
Also, if anyone wants a copy of the transcript via email, I'll be very happy to send it.
And while you are at it, please note the following DIRECTLY from GTE site:
>>In addition to Amati Corp., GTE's trial includes the use of ADSL modems provided by Westell Technologies of Oswego, Ill., and Aware, Inc. of Bedford, Mass. GTE's trial will initially use Amati's Overture 4 modem that carries data at speeds of 1.5 Mbps downstream and 160 kbps upstream over an approximate three-mile distance.
Westell's FlexCap modems transmit data at 1.5 Mbps downstream and 64 kbps upstream, over a distance of about three miles. Aware's ADSL Internet Access Transceiver modems tout 4 Mbps downstream and 500 kbps speeds, transmitting data over distances of two miles. <<
So, even the OLDER Amati modems are faster upstream than Westell's which employ ADI chips and can only go 2 miles vs 3 miles!!! |
