That effects bandwidth available between the CO and house. The problems I'm having are all at the CO or later. Currently, the voice line is not connected to the DSL injector at the CO, they are moving things around and have cut or unplugged the wire again (at least that's been their excuse before). The second problem is packet loss at an aggregating router for the ISP (uswest.net), I can get to routers closer to me with no loss. They claim the router's CPU is overloaded. It seems a surmountable problem to me, they just don't seem to want to fix it very fast.
2. A lot of the equipment is still WAY TOO NEW for Telco use.
Agreed, but I think the problems I'm seeing are planning and pilot errors.
I'm sure there is a murder of training and traffic engineering issues that still need to be worked out...
Agreed.
