Windows 10: Metered Broadband Thoughts

With ADSL Asymmetric DSL, which provides much faster download than upload and so saves some bandwidth, being more prevalent. It goes over normal copper telephone lines and is subject to distance limitations.

 

Different DSL's have different distance limitations (RADSL, ADSL, HDSL, SDSL, etc..), but mostly it's just about bandwidth allocation... I seem to recall that SDSL had a 24000 foot range way back in the day when I was not eligible for RADSL, but regardless there's a lot of limitations on DSL... lines have to be "conditioned" so that they are good quality 24 gauge copper (not 26 gauge), there can be no "extenders" and "bridges", and all junction blocks must be clean. That means a technician has to follow the copper from the CO to your doorstep at each of those little green boxes and verify the connection, and replace the terminations if necessary. But none of that will help if you're just too far away in "wire distance".

 

What's wrong with you?

 

Huh?? *Rolleyes I think that there's nothing wrong with @Mystere.. how about you??

 

Not true!

 

I forgot another one WADSL (Wireless ADSL) that's used over wireless fixed telephony and ADSL2, providers are hawking around here.
That reminded me of those two guys that were digging a ditch and other two filling it in right back without putting anything in. When asked what they are doing they said that they are installing wireless telephone lines.

 

*Roflmao2 Now THAT sounds like true New England humor(specially around Vermont)!!!
