Apparently, in difficult cases on longer loops (20-30k feet) where other implementations didn't work well (or at all), MVL performed well (albeit at reduced rates).

Dave:

While this aspect of MVL is good news, I question how valuable such attribute is in today's rapidly advancing marketplace. DMT-DSL from PacBell is tariffed in California out to 17,500 ft at a minimum bps rate of 384K. Along heavier gauge wire, its being deployed at this minimum throughput as far out as 22,000 ft.

So how "reduced" are the rates over MVL DSL? If we're talking less than 300Kbps, I don't see the lure of this type of DSL that significant to warrant deployment in competitive markets -- the larger urban areas.

I say all this with the knowledge that the ability to deliver ubiquitous ADSL deployment via the deployment of DSL plant equipment is not very far off.
