New Look at ADSL2

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the getting-connected dept.

genrader writes "broadbandreports.com just posted a news article which had an interesting story about the new ADSL2, which should be approved in 2003. They say it should be backward compatible with current hardware. It seems pretty interesting. ISP-Planet has the featured in-depth look at it, so you might want to see if it is of any intrest to you."

    Great one more thing for the telcos to screw up. I'm sure that ADSL2 means 2x the wait and 2x the cost. I'm already looking at my calendar and setting aside a week to wait for them to show up. I'm sure they'll have to make twice as many trips out for line tests and the techs will be twice as ignorant of the technology involved. In Soviet Russia, I bet they get it installed quicker.

    640 Kb/s should be enough for anybody.
