Maybe he just meant the transition from wire to fiber.

The latest version is called ADSL2 and can handle up to 20MB per second. It's available in the Netherlands for roughly 25 Euro a month and does not have a download limit. If only that would be available for this price in Lebanon!<BR/><BR/>Sure, there are also experiments with fiber to the home (FTTH) to allow for even greater speed in the range of 100's of MB per second, but the technique is still DSL. It's just a matter of changing the copper wire with a much faster optic fiber.Riemer Brouwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004688187411192302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130675276562192399.post-2726137600687663012007-10-23T19:27:00.000+02:002007-10-23T19:27:00.000+02:00the sentence structure isn't great, but the DS is ...the sentence structure isn't great, but the DS is poking fun at Hmadeh. He's happy to introduce DSL, but they're being sarcastic by noting that it is an outdated technology. <BR/><BR/>It was silly of them to say that it has been replaced, but nonetheless, in quite a few countries you have the option of getting DSL of something more advanced (with the option of paying more of course).m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13218154252840804691noreply@blogger.com
