A friend on a rural DSl association asked about ADSL line extenders. A search on Google yields many products dating back to the days of ADSL-1 advertising 1mbps profiles, but a few seem more recent and support ADSL2+ (not sure if any support VDSL2). Are these thing out of date and no longer deployed ? Were they ever effective, or just vapourware that didn't really improve things ? Do any Telcos still deploy them ? Anyone know of deployments in Canada ? I just need a reality check on those devices. jf
