Thank you for the detailed response!

and cannot find ANY addresses with fiber available
Telcom's database is "poorly maintained". Case in point: I can see the fiber on my road, and I've talked to the install techs, who have a map showing that it's available at my location. Yet, when I call to order it, I'm told that it's not actually available. The techs' explanation: if you don't have grid power, your address may not exist, even if you also have other services from Telcom.
quote:If you don't mind me asking, what neighborhood are you in? What's the actual upload speed on that 12M DSL?
Example: I'm close enough to the DSLAM to get 11mbit DSL; the DSLAM has gigabit fiber as its uplink, and a total of 72 ports, so I get that full 11mbit all day long. (The DSLAM is capable of 500 ports, I have no idea why they don't install more linecards. Similarly, I should be close enough to get 25mbit, but Telcom tends to be very conservative with DSL.)
quote:This is disappointing, but not surprising.
However, DSL in Seaview is served by a DSLAM with 12mbit of uplink, so it's totally unsable. There were plans to bring fiber to that DSLAM, maybe this problem is solved.
