DSL Hardware for Wiring Condos?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday May 1, 2003 @08:10AM from the broadband-to-your-yuppie-haven dept.

Condo-Netwerk asks: "I'm trying to prepare a proposal for my condo building to be our own DSL provider. With 160 units, we should be able to get a T1 and keep the price fairly low. But what's the up-front cost? Which hardware should we use? What do we need to know about Copper Mountain, Avidia, etc. to do our due diligence prior to selecting hardware? I'm also helping a friend spec cabling for a new 30-unit condo building he's putting up; he wants to pull cat5 and split a DSL line from the phone room to each unit. Caveats? Experiences? Is it better to use cat6 or fiber?"

Make sure you add a squid cache at the head end, you wouldn't want all your bandwidth being used up by constant goatse.cx reloads.

Additionally, be prepared to deal with "concerned parents" asking you to police their children activity over the net.

Why is there no mod option for -1 self-promoting?
