Jim, Thanks yours. I knew I shouldn't put my 2c in, but it was late, the door on my fireplace had broken and I had to wait until the fire died and the fireplace cooled off before I could fix the door (a hinge pin had come out) and go to bed with an easy mind. In the meantime I was prowling SI. A couple of followup questions: How is the consumer's telephone line linked to the DSLAM? Is there an electronic switch or router (owned by the telco) that routes lines to each vendor's equipment? Related to this. I've heard of vendors "oversubscribing" for their available lines. How does this work if the dsl is "always on"? What determines the bandwidth of the telephone line? You speak of 1 Mhz as the bandwidth. Is this at all related to the wire's gauge. I've heard that thinner wires can't support the same dsl bandwidth as far from the CO. This is related to resistance in the line, I presume, and has nothing to do with its bandwidth. Or, am I guessing wrong? And then, you've confused me. You speak of 1 Mhz at one point, then 8Mhz at another. Can you explain the difference? Again, thanks for your input. Oh, and I've got xdsl.com bookmarked. JS
