Thanks Trey , i took it as a real positive sign for Westell and asdl in general , that they doubled their asdl sales in one year ..

I also agree with your position on cable offering big talk no action ...

i am from the Montreal region where we have only one cable company a full 75% percent of the territory does not have access including my own on island region.
buy the way the cost is $49.00 canadian with on site cable modem installation talk about a loosing profit ..

We have also played with it and since its analog we can spilt the line and feed it into our TV for cable recp..

Also since it a dedicated line feed we have set up web servers

Their still not monitoring line traffic its so low ....

So for 49.99 bucks you get
Cable tv
fast high speed access
Dedicated connection

We are supposed to get ASDL by September, but bell refuses to tell us which locations will be available and pricing is still an issue

locally ASDL is a hot topic and corporate customers cannot understand
why bell has not taken a more aggressive look at their needs these people are willing to pay the high install charges..

Biting the ADSL bullet

From AmericasNetwork.Com:


Biting the ADSL bullet

To get serious about ADSL, get serious about outside plant upgrades.

By Allen Stewart


After five years of silence, the regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs)
and GTE finally say they'll supply millions of their subscribers with asymmetric
digital subscriber line (ADSL). Is it because they finally believe in the
technology? Is it because they can make money deploying it? Do the latest
transceivers let them blend ADSL gracefully with plain old telephone service
(POTS)? The correct answer to all of these questions is probably "no."

The common carriers are announcing mass ADSL deployment because it has
become politically expedient to do so. Deploying it is another matter.
