[Asterisk-Users] Should I choose DSL @ 1.5 or a full T1?

[Damon Estep]

OK,

You guys have me second guessing my training and experience in this
area, so;

1. If I am wrong I apologize to the group.
2. I have been trying for a few minutes to find confirmation either way.

>From what I know about the modulation techniques used by DSL (DMT, CAP,
QAM) it is impossible for the transceiver in the device to transmit and
receive at the same time (unless there is discreet "channels" for each
path and a very good transceiver).

Does anyone have any definitive technical resources confirming that any
form of xDSL technology can transmit and receive at precisely the same
time (not interleaved).

Can anyone provide a more logical explanation of why the outbound
latency on every DSL modem tested increases with inbound traffic? Even
at rates well below the maximum data rate, Not the case on a T1. My
explanation is that the additional latency is due to packet scheduling
and queuing mechanisms required by the technology.

Maybe I will learn something this evening.

Damon

Are you sure?  Everything I have seen says SDSL = Full Duplex.
That being achieved by dropping the pair that provided voice and using
it for signalling.

"Where ADSL utilizes unoccupied frequencies and averts conflict with
analog voice frequencies, SDSL takes over the whole line. SDSL
eliminates analog voice capabilities in favor of full-duplex data
transmission. No splitter, no analog voice-nothing but data. As a decent
alternative to T1, SDSL has gotten a fair amount of attention from
Competitive Local Exchange Carriers."

You are aware that DSL (even SDSL) is half duplex and a T1 is full
duplex, right?

1.5m sdsl can only do 768 sustained duplex, or 1.5 out 0 in, or 0 out
1.5 in. a T1 will do 1.5 in and 1.5 out sustained.

This is due to a separate transmit and receive path on a t1 and a shared
path on sdsl.

The s in sdsl means symmetrical, not duplex, that is that the signaling
rate is the same in either direction, but still half duplex.

For VoIP a t1 is worth double what a 1.5 sdsl is because of the duplex
nature of the traffic, unlike most internet that is download-centric.

Speakeasy SDSL Is 1.5 Megs, is business class (so you get an SLA) and
only costs around $100 per month.

FWIW I provisioned a PRI and a DS-1 for $300 each. Don't know if I'm
getting a break for having a voice and a data circuit broken out from
one fiber drop, but that's what I'm paying here in Orange County. Also,
I had a business cable modem before, which was *allegedly* not shared
for business customers (suspicious) and the throughput was a roller
coaster, as was the latency. The DS-1 cleared all that up.
