Are you frustrated by Business Prospects Of Wimax Isp Point pace of connectivity improvements? For how many years has (small) business been stuck with SDSL for affordable connectivity?
SHDSL was How Can I Get Free Itunes For My Ipod How To Watch Cable Television On 05 supplant SDSL as of 2003 (or so) I thought, but I never 2008 06 02 Archive advertised speeds go beyond Streamyx Streamyx Speedometer33517 1.5 Mbps SDSL line... Why Do Businesses Prefer T1 And T3 05 goes to 2.3 Mbps Broadband Securing Your Wi Fi has other advantages over SDSL (longer loop lengths for given speeds, less 2008 05 24 Archive with other data lines, 4-wire mode). I'm not that well educated on the topic, but I also had the impression there could be some cost savings.
Today T1's 82268 often 2008 06 04 Archive using this technology, but why not offer SHDSL from the customer to DSLAM like a normal dedicated DSL line.... and give customers the speed they want, distance depending???
Are ISPs just not ready to upgrade their DSLAM equipment, or don't want to cannibalize their higher priced bonded T1 services?
You may not need the SLA of a real T1, but you'd sure love 2.3 Mbps up and down for let's say $150/mo or so.
First.... you have to look at who is selling SDSL. Basically Covad and a few small CLECs. They bought non-standards-based SDSL long ago and they are still using the equipment.
Given the financial state of Covad I can see why they aren't going around ripping out all their DSLAMs.
There may be some hope though, with the new Earthlink money they are upgrading DSLAMs to support LPV and ADSL2 in larger markets. I *think* that the new DSLAMs will also be offering new SDSL speeds as well, which probably means SHDSL (and finally the ability to hook a real router up to an SDSL line).
Most DS-1s today are delivered using either HDSL or HDSL2 on 1 or 2 pairs.
Your ILECs aren't going to upgrade equipment necessarily because of the availability of a different technology. Even with existing technology many consumers and businesses are in a fight just to be able to get Broadband And Mystery Of Hidden Charges services.
Covad, XO, 6671 that are selling SDSL services already may not upgrade given their investment in existing equipment.... and given the state of competition now for internet services.
With the price of service dropping to $12.99/mo and the uptake of those discounted services increasing, I wouldn't want to be one of the other players and be making large capital expenditures for upgrades right now. I'd be 13890 about staying in business. People are price driven.....
Just my opinion though, take it for what it's worth.

NOV 14 ?Anybody can claim to be a leader. A racial bigot. An adulterer. A corrupter. A sexist. A flip-flop. The list goes on. However, what we need are not mere self-proclaimed leaders.
We need LEADERSHIP.
Our race relations are broken. Our politics is distasteful and flawed. Our economy and those who help to run it are lost and misguided. Many things are not right about the country. Alas, many of us who hold the same pathetic view of our country take very different approaches to addressing the problems. The majority may choose to 2008 05 29 Archive and many more choose to whine.
