I heard about that option, apparently it's different from ADSL and it's supposed to be fast and reliable...

Anybody knows something about it?

Sorry Tod, I have no idea.

But I am also interested in SHDSL.

If you subscribe to it, could you please give us some further information?

Thanks a lot.

G.SHDSL uses a different line encoding than ADSL. Major differences: maximum speed 2.3Mbps upload and download over a pair of copper wires. Maximum distance 11km.

ADSL routers will of course not work with g.shdsl, a different router is required!

actually there's no improvement in the distance :

144 K

5.300 m

272 K

4.600 m

528 K

4.000 m

1040 K

3.700 m

2064 K

3.000 m

it's simply it's allowing symetric down and up .

I guess you copied a table from a website? I can show you several g.shdsl lines performing at 2.3Mbps over 3km+ copper lines. ADSL does however degrade rapidly around 3km distance, so there is an improvement in distance.
