Yep, then drop a MT in front of the DSLAM and bingo you have a DSL hotspot :)

Issues with corroded splices, line noise, and generally limited distance is part of why moto discontinued it. Wireless would be my last choice for so many reasons, mostly due to interference but there are other issues such as reliabilty, consistency, hidden node, bandwidh hogs, etc. IMO vdsl from moto or netsys is the highest reliabilty, highest bandwidth (up to 70mbps) solution. Drop it in, cross connect and drop the modem in their apartment at their prefered phone jack and get out. I have not had one vdsl modem or switch fail in over 4 years. I don't even think about them, they just work.

Could also be a revenue stream if you can lease the converter and a router the end user. Easy to install. Plugs right into any electrical outlet in the apartment. No need to worry about sharing Time Warner's cable, the electrical is part of the building!

No DirectTV - we are in Time Warner territory so we competing in space where the apartments are wired with Coax that TW owns.
