WHPO3:

Spoke claims that there is no need for Embarq because VDSL2 has surpassed the speed and reach requirements which Rim has announced.

I found a press release on the web which states at 4000 feet VDSL2 is achieving 20-25 mbits. That is far less than Rim's graph from the shareholder's meeting.

The problem with 20-25 mbits at 4000 feet is that it will not give the bandwidth for more than one stream of HDTV.

Embarq may not achieve the results from their graph - that remains to be seen, but Spoke is 1000% incorrect with his claims regarding VDSL2 based on what is available online from the industry from actual field trials.

There is a need for superior tech that can deliver 3 channels of HDTV without spending billions on fiber.
