Must! Must ! Read this to get great perspective on the dsl-cable battle. Here is a small part.
DSL comes in various iterations and speeds. It's often called xDSL in which the "x" serves as a variable in an algebraic equation. In each case, Craddock emphasized, the speed depends on how close the end-user is to the central office, "because the performance degrades with length. When you're at VDSL at the nine-megabit rate, you almost have to be close enough [to the central office] to hit it with a rock."
