[Cialug] DSL speeds

[Dave Weis]

Line distance and the amount of attenuation (signal loss) are the two main factors that determine DSL speeds. If you can get 3 meg now, they will probably not put in a remote for the forseeable future. Most of them are going where only 1.5 meg or nothing is available currently. 

We are in the process of expanding our own DSL service to Ankeny and will be able to DSL bonding as well as another exciting announcement...
