[MLB-WIRELESS] adsl protocol question... - off topic

[dean collins]

Hi, I saw you got some answers already - just wanted to comment that
Internode now offer a 12M service though this is with ADSL-2.

Telstra can already offer 3M service but they just don't for
marketing/commercial reasons.


Cheers,
Dean

Subject: [MLB-WIRELESS] adsl protocol question... - off topic

Hi all,

<mode = de-lurk>
does anyone know how the signalling and data transmittion codecs work
for  
adsl cable and satellite?

e.g.
The line b/w your house and the exchange is capable of telephone at low

frequencies and adsl at high frequencies.  Depending on your adsl plan
you  
get a feed that is somewhat lower in speed than the maximum... which I  
presume is somewhere around 1.5 Mbps??? (ignoring local conditions and  
distance to exhchange effects - I'm interested in the max possible
output  
 from the exchange.)

most of us get much less than the 1.5 Mbps.  so how is that achieved. Is

it something like a limited frequency band that is used, such that there

is, for want of a better term, some dark cable available for another  
transmitter to access, or is it a codec change... e.g. lower speed, more

error checking, greater distance, but still using all the available  
frequency band (or more likely, using all the frequency band,  
inefficiently, but not so as one can share).

basically I want to know if 2 service providers can utilise the copper  
pair coming ot your home...
