Andrew,

At longer distances, ADSL2+ doesn’t generally deliver more speed than ADSL1. The primary benefit in this case would be the possibility of pair bonding, and also standalone (no voice) service. Give us a few months – we need to wrap up some testing and product design on bonding.

I see the distance limit for ADSL2+ (Fusion) is about 8000 wire feet from a central office. Per Google Maps, I’m currently about 2.1 miles (11,000 feet) from the Santa Rosa central office. Is there a time in the future when I can expect ADSL2+ (Fusion) to be available at my home, or is timing of availability really unknown today?

I heard we got a firm order commit a day or so ago – you should hear from our group to schedule your install any time!

Hi Dane! I placed my order on the 22nd, but haven’t yet heard from your techs about an install date. Everything OK over there? Thanks!

How about 27 – 28k feet from SBSTCA11? Pair bonding sounds interesting – what are its limitations? How about high-gain antenna options with your wireless offering? Currently a HughesNet customer as Comcast wants $56k for cable install.

Forest,

That’s further than we are delivering today, as the goal for now is to offer speeds from six to eighteen megabits.

Once we open up a 3Mbps product bracket, you are likely to be in range. Then, there is also the possibility of pair bonding, which is working well in testing. We have not done the product design and pricing work for bonded offerings yet, but that will come before too long.
