DSL is a joke. What are you going to do with 5 Mbps down in the modern world or 30MB+ websites?

- milankragujevic 7y agoDSL (VDSL2) can and does go over 100 Mbps.
- dmitrygr 7y agoNot available anywhere I've lived (Bay area, Chicago, SF). In fact I've only heard about it from Wikipedia. Never heard of anyone who knows anyone who claims to have even seen this in person.
- amyjess 7y agoIt's not quite 100, but I get 75 Mbps on VDSL in Dallas.
- milankragujevic 7y agoOh. Sorry. It's quite prevalent in Europe... https://i.imgur.com/zGSklKi.png https://i.imgur.com/zGSklKi.png - The local loop length is 2 km in this case.
- rsynnott 7y agoIf someone’s selling a non-symmetric ‘fibre’ service <= 100Mbit/sec, it’s probably VDSL2.
- milankragujevic 7y agoDownvoter... Care to elaborate? VDSL2 does very often get speeds of over 100 Mbps. It is a fact and a well known one.
