Hi Martin, That would be one of the reasons why I suggested a focus on where the equipment was located, not how much equipment you have. Your Canadian DSL customers don't attach to DSLAMs in Tokyo. The physical reality behind network latency makes it unlikely that they ever will. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
