Another drawback is that, by their nature, ADSL circuits have a higher latency than standard T1 service. So if this is something thats really important, a "propper" T1 might be a better option.
Then there's that little problem of maintaining routing over 8 parallel links, etc. On Wed, Jul 21, 2004 at 10:32:30AM -0700, Adam Debus wrote: > > Something to be careful on with ADSL is repair times.
