This is Globespanvirata anwser, when I asked them to elaborate about speed versus distance figures:
Bob
As it is stated in the press release at 30% longer distance over existing DSL service. The actual performance is dependent upon any specific connection. So if someone was getting service at 10,000 feet and 256K speeds, there service could be 534K at the same distance. If someone could not be serviced at 12,000 feet from the central office where the service provider could not deliver DSL, they may be able to with our new solutions.
We hope this helps.
