You forgot to mention that like cable; dsl has it's bottle necks as well.
DSL will bottle neck in different places then cable. Cable bottlenecks from
a central node and DSL will bottleneck from Central Office to Central
office. Hey Mr. Covad :) I am a splicer for Verizon. I work with hicaps
( T1, 56kb, DSL, etc) Where ya from?
