The ***ONLY*** technical advantage of Fiber is ***DISTANCE***. Unlike just about every other media the signal does not degrade measurably for a great distance - so higher performance lines are possible over greater distance. A 1Gbp/s FDX ethernet connection is imperceptibly different than a 1Gbp /s fiber connection provided the distance is short and the level of EMF is low. [and there is 10Gbp/s copper now]
Please could you explain that in a little more detail? We don't have a local server. We see it in being able to work in a google docs domain. That isn't possible with adsl. Is that an example of what you are saying? Thanks.
That is not a limitation of ADSL, that is a limitation of *your* ADSL. Very good performance can be provided by ADSL .... at short distances using quality cabling and SLAMs. -- Adam Tauno Williams mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
