Take a copper wire. Throw away about 80% of the diameter. That is your dailup. Government laws prohibit transmission of data faster than 33kb/sec. (You can get close to 56k but that is actually splitting the signal) Now broadband fills up that copper. You need filters so the very small and faint voice signal does not get lost in the Niagra Falls Thunder of the DSL Signal. In less than one year we are throwing away copper ethernet and going FTTH (Fiber to the home) that has 2 Meg up and 5 meg down speeds. Fast enough to render DSL, Cable and satellite TV obselete. Not to mention shattering the 3 mile radius of DSL and extending that to 180 miles to one house. Hard Disks are the bottle neck on computers hooked to fast connections. Thankfully SATA2 and similar drives promise to permit computers to keep up. Stay tuned, there is a movement afoot to bring the United States into the age of the light and freed from the weighty and obselete copper infrastructure.
