I think that asymmetric bandwidth is OK for a lot of users. Even folks such as myself that host everything at home. I did a good amount of bandwidth usage analysis and found that a 768k uplink (via ATT DSL) was about 2x what I needed. So I have a fair amount of head room. I guess I may have been under the assumption > that SDSL was limited in speed, Correct. It also has a number of provisioning issues (as outlined in this thread) and I imagine would get less support then DSL. How many SDSL clued employees are available for escalation? and that it was not going to ever match > the speed of the assymetric choices, such as FIOS, UVerse, or even > traditional ADSL. Right. Not without pair bonding. Which is a royal pain in large portions of the cable plant. Are you saying SDSL is better for home users? Does > it provide greater bandwidth for downlink and uplink speeds?

I personally find ADSL just fine for this. I host mail/web/voip etc at home. Business class DSL which runs me about $100.00 per month. Not sure how much SDSL would run me, or how much effort would be required to order it. ADSL is a well understood, common offering of the telcos. I guess I'm not enough of a "purist". :) I really don't mind the copper to ethernet handoff at my DMARC. I just run it in bridge mode and do all the termination on my pfSense box. So I retain full control. I do have a netgear DSL modem (It can run Linux) that I could put into play. I'll probably do that in order to get a better understanding of what happens on the DSL side as I'm curious. - -- Charles N Wyble (char...@knownelement.com) Systems craftsman for the stars http://www.knownelement.com Mobile: 626 539 4344 Office: 310 929 8793 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNI2y8AAoJEMvvG/TyLEAtQNEP/07x4Vyv0/8zz8WoVYdHmrQV 6lBm7PaN8nNoFazKUMcTbv3iMy0hQmSxhbWUo9S6Od6DGfeQvPllRNDsWWTBya8D uSw/o4XVqUyPWddbHdRgXp4XuOysLJXUMtACJUw367km0nNPLldTpnwn7L4EGl4X QtL9JL3e8zz8pfMKtwqHHEWALBahE5GuU1MvnP1KYD3huc5Kb9CiEqezGo4NK6gZ I/UpiK7jfve1qb8xw0YJDhGOurfksfMa876o980g9cCjzOpS3Mavqaf8CYTlItIL ML8HHYa9biornVAQ5s3d2LDzHExz7Brvel95SigQz6YBISmYAQTNwX/SfgPKt/TR rAihpsfQo3QSd6ExtFuW/KZu6aB3L4aeRLRxp6dzIchPDtmZ1rXQVJujEku2lT3C f7/Ua65nGujEByAst4MoKDQXhVYgw7/DV8I8A58CruEfyjRW3xD/B6ctHxXgTcki hFHNMxV/+vxd8QiyPvc2G1TcE4/SRf2LE9yk2XVN7VSPs8oTF5tLEbqQzti5vDFe waUHXcUU58pouQzst9QNRIUS/cPyBAyX+OrfeFu7suX7Y2DhwdhCDVeZTduzmDt2 ZFuA7vzc46W4OL1Zpwn0XQBkqHshClPUAC8ouroL4ZVuAjYeHowOv7YEYMqyy4Lj lcnMnSvjtrdeqa4ven5t =wAZJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
