I haven't heard of IPDSL

is that some sort of brand name in the US?

ah seems to be AT&T specific naming

IP-based DSL? To my understanding this is the standard name for the next generation of DSL

ah ok

can you explain it?

ah I found it, IPDSL is ADSL 2 +, double play only

which is the ITU-T G.992.5 standard

Somewhat...A (asynchronus) DSL doesn't use matching bitstreams for data transmission where IPDSL does. To make matters worse IPDSL can be installed using a bonded pair profile so now you not only have one pair of cables in sychrony but FOUR...bonded pair, in this market, is the bane of my existence because I've yet to find two pair of phone lines that are similar in quality

So we do what we can

ah ok

what speeds do you guys assure the customer of with IPDSL?

So check this out...in our single pair markets 18 Mbps is the absolute fastest we can provide and only if you live within 5k ft of the central office

I had an opportunity to work in a more developed market (i.e. big city) a couple of years back and our full fiber installs were getting 1000 Mbps

yeah the theoretical max for IPDSL is 24 Mbit/s so 18 Mbit/s seems to be close to what is practically achievable with that technology

Alright, bud...good chat. I've gotta get to the 'office' now. I'm neurotic about being on time so I leave 50 minutes early to drive six miles

ah good bye

Hold up a tick...

nice chat yes

I've personally installed 35 Mbps as a single pair service...out of a VRAD of course but still...kinda slow considering my personal connection through the cable company is 425 Mbps

The bonded pair installs have the benefit of a higher top end but I'm fairly confident the top end on that is much better than 100 mbps...that's a copper, two phone line install

Ok, now I'm out!

OMG THAT IS SCARY

@Happy Humble Hermit 👆

Why am I not surprised that this is happening in China?

Oh and... Seems HK called out a revolution

@Happy Humble Hermit also I'm not laughing, I just demand sources, bc the claims are sometimes outlandish ...

but I totally expect such stuff from an officially authoritarian government like china

and the HK people have now a ban on wearing face coverings
so they have some quite interesting solutions
