SBC Planning 15-25Mbps DSL Networks

Posted by timothy on from the planning-is-one-thing dept.

Tuxedo Jack writes "The Register reports that SBC has begun planning a massive network upgrade which will push fiber connections deeper into subdivisions and neighborhoods than before, resulting in incredibly fast DSL speeds for home users. Their current estimate for down/up speeds are 15-25mb/s down and 1-3mb/s up (mega_bits_, not bytes). SBC's press release goes into depth about this."

    If you want to be pedantic: MiB/s vs. Mib/s. Or MiBS^-1...

    BTW, little 'm' means milli. Anything else was written by a marketter with no knowledge of this simple technicalities. I won't stoop to their level by regurgitating their crap!
