old bc said: (quoted from post at 01:33:22 02/05/10) The technology exists to get DSL farther than 3 miles. The phone companies just don't want to pay for it. Two of our communities (one is 8 miles out and the other is about 5 miles)got DSL recently. It is not as fast as "in town" DSL but it is much faster than Dial-Up.


This is a curious point of view. Does the phone company want DSL service to one's house out in the outback? No. But if they did they would weigh the need versus cost & decide if they wanted/needed it bad enough to pay for it.

Do you, the home owner want DSL to your house in the outback? Yes. Are you willing to pay the cost to get it there? No, you want someone else to pay that cost, right? I might enjoy someone else paying for my every need & desire, but it isn't going to happen. What is happening is that I am being asked (forced) to pay for more & more for the needs/wants/desires of other people! If myself and the other 177 million phone subscribers would pay X-times our current phone rates, then Joe Outback could have DSL at our expense.....or Joe could belly up and pay for what he wants & desires or needs out of his pocket. It seems to be the current state of America, & more so everyday, shamefully.

Old bc: The above is not really directed to you, your words were just the trigger for my general rant.

Can DSL reach beyond 3 miles? Sure, with enough money. Fiber optics instead of wire will do it. A mini- "exchange-in-a-box" installed within 3 miles from your house & properly tied back to the Central Exchange office will get it done, too. The problem isn't total distance per se. It is the insertion of loading coils, which limit the bandwidth of the wired connection. Such coils are added to runs at about 3 miles & longer to make voice telephone service possible over that length of wire. An unfortunate side effect is the bandwidth limitation and DSL needs that bandwidth. These are all old technologies and at this day in time likely wouldn't be used in a from scratch new network, but we have what we have and any investment needed to change all of that must be weighed against return on such investment.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S ... [Read Article]
