Re: xDSL and DSLAMs

"Maybe the installer was mistaken about the 1Mb/s rate. VDSL, I believe, begins at 12 Mb/s, working upwards to 52 Mb/s at the high end."

Frank,
Sorry. I didn't word it right. I meant to say they had the little incoming telephone wire hooked up to a, "?? box," inside the house (maybe outside?). The back of it had plugs for TV video, a telephone, AND a 1 megabit Internet connection. The video may very well have taken up a huge chunk of bandwidth in itself. Remember, this GTE tech was a bakery manager at Publix (our big grocery store in FL) two years ago so I don't know if I got all the facts right.

I'm finding all this xDSL conversation pretty fascinating. It's hard to image those tiny little wires being able to supply so much bandwidth.

Let me ask you another question about those DSLAM's now. If I'm not mistaken they will become a very hot product once xDSL takes off. I always pictured them going into the CO only, but it appears they may go in the "field terminals," too. Who are the big players in DSLAMs? All I recall is that Ascend is one key player. And do you need one DSLAM for one user? If so, where are they going to put them all?
Thanks,
MikeM(From Florida)
