DSL Hardware for Wiring Condos?

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?"

    You know what they say about absolute power... It results in a strictly positive number multiplied by itself

    About your sig... you should specify that the "strictly positive number" must be greater than one, otherwise it converges to 0 in the limit!

    But if you DO perform CPR, and you DON'T have a certification, then you AREN'T protected under the Good Sam law.

    That point was drilled into me during my multiple certification sessions.

    So if you aren't certified and you break their ribs (and you will break their ribs if you are doing CPR right), you will not be protected.
