How far away can your customers be? In a city like Houstn or a State like
Texas, where things are far apart, it wouldn't work that well unless you
had MANY pops all over the city.

Yes I typoed, i meant asymetrical, and that is what the A in ADSL stands
for. Yes there are HDSL boxes which are symetrical.

What sort of lines are you ordering from the phone co? They are VERY
reluctant to give us "dry circuits" here anymore which is what I hear you
need to use for non co-located xDSL.
