Lynn and tread: RE the recent Zipper-VDSL announcement; snip
Zipper-VDSL will offer users massively increased data carrying capacity over existing telephone lines for applications such as Internet access and
video-on-demand

Does anyone know what the range is on this particular xDSL as compared to other DSL? That is, are they getting the same distance out from the switching center as other DSL technologies? One of the competitive disadvantages of DSL vs. cable is the distance covered. If this 10x speed has the same distance or even more, then I am VERY interested in knowing more about STM!!! I have been looking for a good xDSL play. Played a short term move in AFCI lately. Looking at STM as a possible long-term, leave alone and wait kind-of-thing!!! I'll go check the companies Web site. Any comments appreciated.
TIA
Best Regards, Scott
