- Johnny555 3y agoThe DSL network piggybacked on the analog voice network which, at least in this country, was built to a higher standard. But I don't want to go back to the days of the 1990's where I was paying $40/month (around $100/month in today's dollars) for an analog phone line. It was reliable, so reliable that "as reliable as dial tone" was something to aspire to, but also costly and limited in capability. Even if I could get DSL today, my fastest speed would top out around 12mbit/sec due to my distance to the CO, which doesn't even meet the current definition of broadband.
