Can any form of DSL lines surpass 25Mbps/3Mbps?
Currently the only internet service provider available is our local telephone company. They do not deal with coaxial cable, only DSL and Fiber. At my current location the highest package offered is 24Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up. Now add some truth to it pertaining to the distance I am away from the node and they inform me my max is instead 17Mbps down and 1 Mbps up. And lastly of course I'm only left with 15Mbps/.75Mbps max. Recently, around the end of last year, they received over 4 million dollars to upgrade their infrastructure as a part of New York State's Broadband program.
The program requires the rewarded company to bring a minimum or equal to connection of 25Mbps down (25 down and 3 up is the federal definition of broadband from the FCC).
I'm waiting on a FOIL request to check the companies plans, but they've done nothing short of telling everyone and their mother they're installing Fiber Optics with a whopping 100Mbps down!
That's great, but you're not running fiber to everyone's houses what a load of sleezy business. Our census block and many others have even been taken off the the auction list by our State, and no longer be offered grant money for another company to build infrastructure.
Back to the question, with a company running Fiber Optics, I assume with a FTTN (node) then running DSL lines from the node to our houses, can they even pass the DSL wire capabilities if we're less than a mile away from the node?
They're currently using ADSL and I believe quite possibly ADSL2+. Is there any other DSL lines that could sustain 80% of the time a connection of 25Mbps? or the FCC's 25 down and 3up?
