Actually, it has little to do with the techs day. It's all provisioning. At the local mom and pop CLEC, it actually may be the techs day. YMMV. :) DSX indicates a cross connect in the loop. A cross connect is a dumb mechanical device that does nothing except put access points in the "long haul"

Yes, this is built around category 3 wiring, not 5. The specs are a little more forgiving. Just grab any 'ole ethernet patch cord and hook it up. Works flawlessly. Unless you're running between DSX pannels or into another MUX, you never need to roll pairs on a T1 installation so just wire straight

Another drawback is that, by their nature, ADSL circuits have a higher latency than standard T1 service. So if this is something thats really important, a "propper" T1 might be a better option. Then there's that little problem of maintaining routing over 8 parallel links, etc. On Wed, Jul 21, 20

Something to be careful on with ADSL is repair times. For example, with Qwest there is a 4 hour guarenteed dispatch (24x7x365) on T1 circuits, and a 23 business hour dispatch on ADSL. YMMV with other telcos. --- Adam Debus Network Engineer, ReachONE Internet [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Messa

One word of caution on that - we had a customer who got 4 separate 1M/1.5M ADSL circuits - all to the same DSLAM. Ended up that the telco had only provisioned that DSLAM with a single T1, and was apparently unable to upgrade that, negating any advantage to the multiple DSL's. It was a remote DSLAM
