RE: [EFM] RE: [EFM-Copper] [Fwd: Existing Loop Lengths]
Folks,
I fully agree, as a DSL service provider, with Patrick's findings in hitting
market requirements AND EFM definitions. I find the data presented
real close to what we find, at Oregon Trail Internet, over 4 ILECs in the
rural
Pacific Northwest. Our average loop, for DSL customers, is approximately
13.5Kft.
Reach of 21Kft would hit nearly 100% of our current market. But .. our
market
is limited by current reach. Needless to day, if I can even get more
reach/performance
I'll gladly sell it (21Kft and beyond).
Respectfully,
Frank Miller
CIO / Oregon Trail Internet
