VDSL Anyone?

Jun 23, 2003 7:28pm CST tags: zGeneral News
A little separate pre-ER thread as some blatant abuse of having my own dumb website. So after what can only be called mass-confusion with SBC I have found out that the place I'm moving to does not qualify for regular ADSL/SDSL but is in fact part of the Richardson TX FTTC (Fiber To The Curb) program. I havent really been able to find any actual reviews of service even on Broadbandreports but the $65/mo for 6mbit downsteam sounds pretty darn good.

Anyone out there have first-hand experience with the Richardson TX FTTC program? Yes I'm sure everyone has horror stories about SBC DSL service, even I do. I'm hoping someone out there has specifically seen or tried out the VDSL in Richardson TX though. All I can seem to find out is that the deployment when the service launched was "very rocky" but not much outside of that. Anyone?
