I'm still waiting for my area to implement FTTN, if not, I'll go with Rogers @Home Cable for my internet needs.

Yeah, and reducing the distance over twisted pair is always a good idea. Especially when Bell sells you a T1 circuit that "never goes down" and it then goes down more often than Monica Lewinsky at a Bill Clinton lookalike contest. :rolleyes:
DSL is for people that want to actually wait to upload things. They've changed the bandwidth restrictions, but now they're much closer to the theoretical limit of ADSL over single twisted-pair copper connections.
A single T1 over PairGain is 1.5Mbps in each direction for a reason, and that's frame relay, same as ADSL is between you and the DSLAM.
It's no wonder the in-law's DSL times out nicely every hour or two in Garson :lol:
Bell has oversold the service. HUGE.
