Can't get enough DSL

From Network Fusion:


Can't get enough DSL


Early implementers tout the easy installation and attractive pricing of digital subscriber line service - when they can get it.

By Susan Breidenbach
Network World, 11/16/98


Early digital subscriber line (DSL) adopters, for the most part, give the service top marks, but they have one complaint: DSL needs to be more widely available.

According to telecom consulting firm TeleChoice, only about 825 of the 32,500 central and remote telephone company offices in the U.S. offer DSL; that's about 2.5%. The 825 central offices represent 20 million
subscriber lines, but not all of them have been - or in some cases even can be - conditioned for DSL.

More from Network World...

By Tim Greene
Network World, 08/17/98


Long berated as foot draggers in the race to offer
high-speed digital subscriber line services, the big
regional phone companies are making noises that 1999
will be the year for DSL.

Here's what you can expect from the RBOCs next
year:

BellSouth will offer DSL that is faster than T-1
but slower than T-3. The offering will come with
guaranteed quality of service for ATM over
DSL.
Bell Atlantic will launch DSL services that boast
various servjust going point to point.
US WEST will be able to support more
customers with its Megabit service.
