Digital subscriber line, commonly known as DSL, is a type of wireline transmission technology used for connecting homes and businesses to the Internet. DSL uses existing coaxial copper technology and a modem to provide users with a broadband connection for transmitting digital data.
DSL is similar to dial-up internet in that they both connect via phone lines, however, the two technologies differ in many ways.
Unlike dial-up services, DSL uses higher frequency bands and does not interfere with voice data, so you can access the internet without tying up your phone lines.
Download and upload speeds over DSL connections are much faster than dial-up internet speeds. DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line, and describes a family of technologies used for digital data transmission and connection to the Internet.
It is a type of broadband communication service available to homes and businesses that uses existing phone lines without interrupting telephone use. When Verizon found my Netgear router at Then, about 0. Notice there are no missing packets in this sequence. All three are shotgun out in quick sequence. You can duplicate this type of behavior using the Ettercap program if you'd like to experiment yourself. In fact, acquire a copy of the entire Helix Linux distribution, and you can have all sorts of fun.
I have successfully captured other computers on a network, and forced them to send all their traffic through me. Caution : you do this where you're not welcome and it is criminal activity. It worked. Notice the packet was sent to There is no reason to do this except an intent to reach into other subnets and hack into them.
As an aside, maintaining TOTAL silence on the network replying not at all would have caused the Westell modem to pass me by and go searching at other addresses.
This is the theme strongly advocated by the grc. However, your computer can not remain silent about DHCP ARP packets, because that's how your computer gets an IP address to do all the rest of the required network communication.
You'll see that the attack worked because 0. Depending on what is most suitable. The subscriber connection could use fiber if it is long. But for those living within a short distance could just as well use copper.
The G. Though, that is over a single twisted pair. The node itself would obviously use fiber, but have at least two independent backhaul lines to provide redundancy to the customers.
And in such a node setup, one can also more cost effectively use the backhaul lines. Now, there is fiber multiplexers, but fiddling with 16 flavors of fiber modules for the subscribers can lead to incorrect maintenance. There is a lot of competent IT service technicians, but also a fair few incompetent ones. Not to mention curious customers….. Pretty funny you think the problems to be solved are technology related, when it all comes down to politics.
I live out in the boonies and yet I have amazing connectivity thanks to politics. The government here in Sweden used to own the telephone lines, they built a competent xDSL foundation. Though, then tides changed, the government privatized the telephone service for some quick cash. They do not make much xDSL equipment btw.
So yes, it is politics, hype, opinion and marketing, before good economic planing and resource management. Sound long term decisions are often the boring ones getting little support from Joe average….
Learn that fiber has some dangers and suddenly the hype train derails and everyone stars saying that fiber is dangerous and should be outlawed. Obviously joking, that would create tons of problems for where fiber is actually a superb solution. It is just that fiber is a bit too overhyped by a lot of people…. No surprise, but light can easily be blocked by a piece of dust, copper pads and pins on the other hand can at times not even mind being surrounded by literal mud….
What bandwidth in those data centres? I have seen 10 G used and now G is being used in some. Though, these I can only find in up to 5 meter lengths. A relatively short distance. DAC usually just takes the differential pairs on the Q SFP port and buffers it, before sending it down a twisted pair or two.
In my many years of experience, there has never been redundant connections to residential customers. The other end was their backup data centre in another city.
Or 4 if one counts the fact that they were full duplex lines… 1 were going down one hose, and the other down another. But it could likely just be a daisy chain setup with multiple nodes. Or some circle, but circles are at least redundant. But a good setup should have a basic degree of redundancy.
FttH also runs to a local node, just like FttN does. Nobody is installing individual fiber runs from each house to a central office. The people who are getting an FttN-based ADSL install in place of traditional DSL are getting a legitimate upgrade, albeit still not as good as having coax or fiber to your house. The ones who are losing out are the ones who are losing their DSL service and getting no replacement at all. While xDSL has its node within meters. That is a short run.
So should be able to support G. Ample speed to say the least. Not that VDSL is bad. Honestly the biggest reason xDSL systems get a lot of criticism for being bad. It is , VDSL2 came out early And why would any municipality want to invest in a slow, substandard service on rotting copper lines and then spend money to keep that substandard service propped up? Instead, someone needs to find a cost effective way to remove and recycle all of that copper cable. Also, many of the copper cables have been there for a very long time and are deteriorating, even without a hurricane.
At one time phone cables used paper insulation on the individual wires and cloth over the cable. Read what it says it takes for that to be a problem. The article mentions splice boxes etc. Also, when fibres are spliced, they are laser welded and covered with a sheath for protection.
For many years, outside plant cables were pressurized with nitrogen, just to keep the moisture out. Yeah so you trust telecoms to do proper maintenance on fiber optic cables after seeing how they maintain their copper cables? You are just kidding yourself if you think telecoms have any interest in maintaining ANY landline capability for the consumer. X As I mentioned, in my area both phone and cable companies are running fibre to homes, not just nodes.
However, I doubt the phone company is spending much on copper cable. BUT — the final layer is some type of acrylate and it happily dissolves in polar solvents like IPA or ethanol. My personal wager would be that once the splice box has direct water cooling, the fibers will degrade. My own experience with DSL was a long time ago, and I was living pretty much at the end of the line. I had an unreliable connection rated at a whopping kbps not mbps!
Prior to that, I was thrilled to have a I remember it was roughly an hour per megabyte when downloading files with that Now I can download gigabytes of data in a few minutes with my mbps cable internet connection. Telecommunications tech has come a long way in 25 years. That being said, I feel lucky to have the reliable, high speed connection that I do. Telecoms are all jerks, your failure is with your elected officials who are not doing their jobs.
I think there is a stinker of a boi abouts but only Al is keeping him in check. You post good and salty content. And not just salt. Shame we have Gatekeeping by Ed. Fast is used up to Mbs. Copper landlines are still widespread here too. Sweden only have a lot of fiber adoption thanks to it being almost fully tax subsidized to all apartment buildings. And all of this is tax subsidized to a silly degree. To me, it is a silly waste of money to be fair.
The infrastructure were planned to be upgraded to VDSL back in , work were a bit under way, then the government privatized the national phone network, and that upgrade cycle got halted. A few have though reverted back to ADSL again since the node sometimes fails, and they have the old ones on the shelf so why not use them….
Also, freaking lasers in glass fibers, it is much much easier to market. And the fiber company building the network is owned by the government, since people hype about fiber, therefor they should get fiber. I call it idiocrazy, and they will likely privatize the fiber company in a couple of years regardless, and the service will plummet in quality like a rock does in the Mariana trench.
You may be able to push off investing in fibre for a few more years. But that VDSL investment will have to be written off as soon as fibre does come along and make it obsolete. How are the apartment buildings in Sweden supplied anyway? Do people really get fibre to their apartments? FTTB with a VDSL connection to individual homes is a sensible solution, with the individual homes being upgraded to a fibre link or ethernet cable when the building is due for renovation.
I live in an apartment style condo. I have a pair of conduits running to the utility room, where the cable distribution equipment is located. They each have only 1 coax cable.
It would be trivial to pull in fibre. On the other hand, some buildings would be a lot harder. There are plenty of high rise buildings that were recabled. They put conduits on the outside wall to hold the new cables. So, it would depend on the building. In an existing building that already has coax going to the apartments it makes more sense to use it. But if all the building has is POTS lines, pulling fiber would be a good technology upgrade. Some buildings have fiber to the apartment.
Others have a network cable. Maybe not out in the countryside where houses can be hundreds of meters apart, there fiber directly to the home is more logical. Fast, or similar in an apartment building is fairly similar to FttC installations. It is small local nodes. Though, most DSLAM boxes I have seen tend to not go under 48 lines, so for an FttC installation, that is a lot of channels, so some might stay unused and lower the cost effectiveness of the solution.
Our neighborhood is filled with old rusted out phone wire boxes vomiting forth rotting copper wired onto curbs and yards. Occasionally a car backs over some phone wiring and it sits there for 6-months proof that the box and wire is no longer in service. The city claims they are powerless to force the utilities to clean up their mess.
Literally every corner, every block. Go ahead, just unplug you new modem from the line. Let us all know IF you still hear a dial tone.
I had plain old POTS for a while as I assumed that the phone company would maintain the existing auxiliary power supply for their old equipment. Guess what? Ergo the passed laws to keep you from stealing ring to power.. Some area have really bad cell reception which makes a problem. My parents still has landline for this reason, it still works even during power outage. Too many tall tree prevents the use of satellite unless my parent invested in a feet tower.
Hypothetically, if the landline is discontinued and the cell service still sucked, can those companies be sued for failure to provide a reliable access to service? It seems like emergency communication should be a completely separate service.
Reserve a slice of low frequency spectrum for public digital emergency messaging, build it into all phones, and run it at a greatly increased power level. Part of the set up is to provide your home address, which is then sent to the operator, as though from a wired phone. As for low bandwidth service, SMS already does that. Sorry james they are cheating the state, the municipality, the county, the city and the outlier zipcode..
All towns2 hours. South of ATL. Have ZERO grocers… the farms have been stopped from bringing food.. At one time the POTS telephones that all these rotting copper lines were all hi-tech. I remember my Mom telling us about the local phone company convincing my grandparents to install a phone — their first phone.
And the argument was the same then as it is now. And it really is!!! Keep up with the ever-changing demands of the technocratic aristocracy—or else! All the tech I use now was the same ten years ago, though.
The drone makes a horn noise and declares.. I watch as you shrug and flop over.. You deserved it. Where i live, POTS has always been less reliable than cellular or cable after those two started to become common. That includes the time before they started trying to move people away from the analog systems. From what I can infer, Verizon has stopped digging up the ground to install Fiber in new neighborhoods as they are figuring they will do it far cheaper and more competitively with their wireless 5G.
Yeah me neither. DSL was one of the most miserable experiences of my life here in Arizona. I am glad it is a dim memory.
