"I am probably wrong, but it seems logical that a "bigger spigot" (ADSL) at the start of the 'last mile' would get rid of some of those bottlenecks because the routers/servers could forward data much quicker and not be tied down "spoon feeding" a modem." ADSL will open up the spigot between the Servers/Clients and COs at the RBOCs. Since all our telephone lines are dedicated lines, this will mean that with ADSL all server/clients will have hight megabyte access to the trunk .(There is also the necessity for DLCs in some neighborhoods but this has already been solved) Space in the COs to stack all the ADSL connections and power consumption was also a big problem. Pair's ADSL Avidia System design concentrates space efficiently, with low power consumption. This leaves the trunk lines between RBOCs COs in major cities and mediusm size cities, and since they are all fiber and can already handle huge megabytes, there should be no bottlenecks. IMHO. Emile
