Now, there are newer flavors of DSL that go out to 20K reliably. It will be a while for 40K though. It's possible that your local telco could do fiber to the neighborhood at some point. Or that you could get coverage from a wireless provider. Have you checked www.broadbandreports.com lately? Worse case, if its that important - you could move... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

It will depend on the quality of the copper, but I don't see it coming soon. For one thing, I'm not sure the numbers are there. Are you sure it's 40kft of copper? I'm 35 kft from my CO, but that means nothing. Only 2 kft are copper, the rest is fiber to my neighborhood RT. When the RBOC put a DSLAM in the RT, I could get DSL. I think the RBOC put the DSLAM in partly to compete with cable. They didn't want to have to try to win customers away. If you don't have cable in your area as possible competition, even if you are on a nearby RT, I'd expect it is near the bottom of their list for a DSLAM upgrade. Sorry, but that's a free market. If full deployment of DSL takes 10 years with available production rates & installation crews, how else should RBOC order their instals? Or do you believe in centrally-planned economies because it might give you this one advantager? The slight disadvantages in everything else add up to much more. -- Robert | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
