e.g. in NYC, there seems to be a lot of DSL providers,
but all of them are using Verison's infrastructure.
Once the DSL system in Version goes down,
all of them are down too.

I'm not quite clear what's ADSL and what's DSL,
but it seems to me they use PPPoE which is a
cheap implementation protocol and very unstable.
And with the same price , you get much smaller bandwidth with DSL
than with Cable.
e.g. My DSL is 384kbps/90kbps(d/u), 40.00$/month
Cable(Time warner) is 1.44kbps/??(d/ | n*****n

$40/mon for a 1.5M/384k is pretty good. and it's
actually very stable. the typical down-speed for
me is like 1.2~1.3Mbps, which means at very fast
website, it can be 160KB~170KB/s sustained.

发帖数: 201 | 3 Here in my area, the cable provider is media-one.
I asked them about the data rate, maximum 1.5Mbps DS
and 300Kbps US. I want to have the ADSL service
because my work is related with ADSL. But I asked
a people having DSL service in the same area and he said
it is about $40/month with 128Kbps DS/US guaranteed. This seems
not good, because for most ADSL modems it should
be able to handle around 8Mbps DS and 1Mbps maximum. So I
wonder whether the bottleneck is in the central office side.
Personally
