Can I assume you mean 2 miles NOT 20 miles? We're doing basically the
same here in rural Ontario. We're aprox. 3 km/2 miles from the CO as the
wire is pulled. This is just on the fringe of what Bell/Pairgain feels is
an acceptable distance so Bell Canada has placed a "repeater" unit
between us and the CO.
In the past two years we've had a Frame Relay 256k Frac T1, Frame
Relay 512k Frac T1 and now a full T1 point-to-point circuit delivered via
Pairgain HDSL units. Two months ago we setup a channelized T1 service
(sorry, not on PM3's) using HDSL/Pairgain and all seems to be well. Bell
did have some problems with repeater units and units in the CO which they
initially blamed on CPE, but they monitored the circuit for 24 hours and
discovered it was indeed their problem. Since then everything has been
peachy.
