Great article, If GTE is about to start its roll out in 3 months, they should make a vender announcement pretty soon. This article along with the BA ADSL page sure made me feel a lot better about WSTL's situation. The only thing I don't understand is, if all this is true and deployment is about to begin, why would they make comments like no earnings for the next 5 quarters. This just doesn't add up. does anybody have any comments on this. Regards Ramin Hooriani

David: Now that was a GREAT find!!! I would like to highlight this part: ...When I joined the Microsoft-GTE trial last spring, GTE gave me an early ADSL modem from Westell that could download data at 1.5 Mbps, but upload only at a paltry 56K. I recently moved, and this week GTE visited my new home to reinstall ADSL. The installer brought a new Westell modem that downloads data at the same 1.5Mbps, but uploads data at speeds approaching 1 Mbps. Like my older Westell modem, this external modem connects to my PC through a standard Ethernet card... . Westell modems are still being used for new installs!!! I was under the impression Amati modems were being used. Ken M. - Any additional news from GTE in your area? On a different deployment, BCTEL has been deploying Amati modems for a few weeks now. On the NN thread a fellow has an Amati modem: ...In my home we now have an Amati box (telephone and ADSL on the same phone number at the same time), the ADSL speed seems to be about T1, we are about 4 km from the local CO. The splitter puts the data over a Newbridge 36170... exchange2000.com Westell has the writes to manufacture the Amati CO ATU-C product, I'm not sure about the ATU-R modem. BC TEL MultiMedia Gateway service uses asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) technology to deliver data and images at lightning-fast speeds over existing copper telephone wires... bctel.com
