John, I believe you are referring to HDSL2, which can and does run over single-pair but uses advanced spectral shaping and error correcting mechanisms that weren't invented when HDSL was dreamed up by Bellcore. ./chris

Umm, no. HDSL rides a single pair, and provides more than 1.5Mb.

Even pre-HDSL2 vendors such as PairGain had single pair full T1 solutions, but that suffered slightly in loop length capabilities compared to the 2 pair HDSL they were then selling. We still have some of the older ones in use. Now with HDSL2, they get the same range as 2 pair HDSL but use only one pair. But what we really should be talking about is something else. We need to be able to provide the customer end of HDSL2 while the ILEC provides the CO end for a lower cost local T1 loop that can still connect to traditional other points in the network as any normal T1 can and does not depend on a CLEC colocating a DSLAM for the savings. If an ISP buys DSL transport from Verizon to connect his remote customers to his Verizon ATM T3, he may use *ANY* suitable DSL box at the customer's end. It could be a cisco 827 or some far less expensive other brand. It is Verizon's DSLAM at the CO, but his IP addresses and service the customer enjoys. Here in the states, everyone uses ISDN U interface for the BRIs (i.e. we provide our own NT1 function), not the S/T interface others suffer with, and we provide our own CSU/DSU for other services. But on standard T1 services (the prototypical EXPENSIVE last mile) we still must $pay$ for *their* HDSL2 box as it is part of a tariffed service. Sure as a CLEC one can get copper pairs and do HDSL2 form COLO, but there are situations where low density customer locations simply don't justify colocating in THAT CO, and getting a LEC T1 type-2 end loop but at an even lower price where WE provide the HDSL2 at the customer end (built into a cisco router, even), and the ILEC provides the CO end would be a step towards dragging T1 loop pricing down nearer ADSL pricing. Other than loss of revenue, this is no worse for the ILEC than U interfaces or their DSLAMs feeding customer owned cisco 827s. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin, Christian" <cmartin@gnilink.net> To: "'John A.
