all involved would be to become a DSL reseller through your xLEC but even if
they still do that you’re probably looking at a significant investment

color:#1F497D'>The other side of this is that if you do manage to get something
running on dry copper you have no SLA. What happens when/if the xLEC makes a
change to your pair that results in loss of service? All they’ve likely
guaranteed is connectivity between 400 Hz and 3 kHz. They won’t want to
hear that your xDSL no longer runs on it and your client won’t want to
hear that it’s not your fault.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I have a customer who is buying
hosted PBX and voip service from me and is using about 10 megs of bandwidth to
connect all of his phones to his hosted pbxes. So to make calls I have
account for the 10 megs in and the 10 megs out to other sip providers. <br>
<br>
His connection to me is done over the public internet using about 15 or so DSL
connections. I have his servers in the local CO where I have a few racks
and other equipment.<br>
<br>
My questions is this.. Is it still possilbe to buy dry copper pairs and if so
how much are they, what is the telcom buzzword (I have heard of UNI-T but Im
not so sure), and what equipment do I need? What I want to do is replace
his DSL's where he buys his connectivity from me (generating more revenue) and
to lower my internet costs (saving money) by dropping 10 meg to internet.
I have been doing a lot of reading on this subject and was wondering if anyone
else on this list has done this.<br>
<br>
Ive read that a dry copper pair can carry 2 megs of data and you can bond them
together with certain devices made by guys such as PairGain/ADC or Hatteras.<br>
<br>
Anyone here ever do this?<br clear=all>
