As for DSL....I am only 1.5 miles form the CO ( Central Office) and I cannot use DSL, the old copper lines are too noisey...I could not even get past 33kb...that is real bad !!!! Highiron...I am interested in FTTH....what is this technology? Some sort of enhanced fiber optics with phase modulation? I am less than 300 yards from my Telco and enjoy good clean service. I had dailup for years. Now, I did a paper in college on FTTH and I used a web site that is managed by the government that includes a "powerpoint" on FTTH. That site tries to speak in plain engli***he current state of FTTH in America. This information is already a year old. Verizon and others have upped DSL to 6 meg down in a last ditch effort to ward off certain doom from the FttH. http://www.fcc.gov/oet/tutorial/FTTH_Tutorial-8-7-03.ppt You may be able to download a powerpoint viewer if you dont already have the ability to view these. They try to keep the "Tech Babble" down but bottom line computers will be so connected at bandwidths that are so huge and so fast riding the light... and the reach of this fiber optic cable will enable to most remote home anywhere in america to have FTTH. If you do a search on New Egg, You will find that Gigabit conncetions to Fiber lines can be built at the house where you have the fiber coming in. From there you can have everything, Satellite TV, Cable, Telephone, Internet, Live Streaming Broadcasts going on at once all over the house. And instead of 4-6 bills to pay for each service you subscribe to, you only need to pay one bill. The FTTH technology has been in use across America these last several years. It's deployment nationwide has the same impact as the telephone did back in the 50's It is a truly historical time for us.
