Saw an interview with CEO of Nortel in Upside, I believe, and he said main problem was: Telco installs Millions of $ of equipment and raises speed at the office to 20x, but because of poor connections in the copper loop, they have to send a truck out to redo the connections and that costs a lot of bucks to roll a truck. Comments?

Ken, Does cable have any of the distance problems of xDSL? I have just been informed that DSL will be available to me by the end of January. (Good news.) Unfortunately, I live 3 miles from the substation and their limit for 384kb/384kb is 2.7 miles. (Bad news.) I have to live with either 128kb if I use our old Ascend Pipeline 50 or 144KB if I buy a $600 box which can NOT be upgraded to the 384kb rate if it ever becomes available. Rotton deal...
