2-9-05BellSouth Network Upgrades 4-6Mbps of that will be for DSL (ADSL2+ specifically)
The technology, ADSL2+, will enable download speeds between 4 megabits per second and 6 mbps, and upload speeds from 512 kbps to 768 kbps, BellSouth said.
BellSouth said it may be able to reach 80 percent of the households in its territory with the ADSL2+ technology at a cost of roughly $300 per household.
=================================================
It is a simple upgrade for the DSLAM and to make sure the backhaul to the DSLAM can carry higher bandwidth to and from the DSLAM.
Then the customer upgrades to a ADSL2+ Modem.
I hope to get an Engineering unit to test shortly.
There were some P&N experts saying this would not happen. :roll:
Actually dave I believe the only saying there would not be increased bandwidth for customers in the future, was yourself.
Keep the two issues separate.
The first issue is deployment of Technology.
Second is who gets the Technology.
The only correlation between the two is Political and Greed, not Technological.

City asks company to drop lawsuit
"If we had been allowed to proceed with this project from Day 1 without interference from BellSouth and Cox, we project that we would have been serving our first customers with much lower cost services by July of this year," says the director of a community fiber project in Lafayette, who has asked the companies to drop their lawsuit and move aside. "The people of Lafayette are the losers and the corporate executives of these big Atlanta-based companies are the winners as they continue to battle the citizens of Lafayette in blocking this project," he suggests.
Just one day after promising cooperation and a possible partnership, BellSouth sued to stop the city from pursuing $125 million in revenue bonds to fund a triple-play fiber network (the focus of a recent USAToday article).
