Re: Level of the DSL pilot tone?

Hello Jim,


I don't know if you are far away from the hub. Here, when you apply for
(A)DSL they first measure/test your line, also to see what the maximum
possible speed will be. The highest speed abo's aren't possible when
you're too far away from the hub, or when there is some other issue
with the actual copper wires ;)

Same here. I looked at the analyzer when they did the line check before signing me up and the SNR looked surprisingly good. However, in the US there is an unfortunate habit in that contractors often bury the phone lines in the same trench with the power lines.

Huh? That's certainly not legal in Arizona.


Before building a fence a few years ago I dutifully called Digalert (wish all the "pros" would also do that, sigh...) and when the phone guys traced it along the same path as the utility I asked them whether that means it's the same trench. "Yup, like usual".
