SHDSL promises data rates of 2.3Mbps over a single copper pair, as opposed to the 1.5Mbps speeds of conventional DSL lines.

WTF? Qwest offers up to 7 MB lines. I've only seen a couple 7 meg lines ever, but I see lots of 4 meg lines.

<< Moreover, the new standard can allegedly reach distances 30 percent further than regular DSL, >>

Nope, I have cable modem :D

I've read about lots of horror stories about DSL like northpoint going bankrupt.
