I am located in Lilburn, Georgia which is an Atlanta Suburb. I recently moved into a neighborhood where all of the telephone wiring is Fiber Optic, and a repair technician who came out to the house informed me of a "High Speed Internet" feature which is provide to "Fiber Optic" neighborhoods called "PC Data" where the internet line in question is 2 pair or 4 wires and can only be used for data. One pair is supposedly used for sending data while the other pair is used for receiving data. The transmission rate is in the gigabyte range like T2 and T3 connections offered to businesses, and is much much faster than DSL. This is all information given to me by the Bellsouth Repair Technician. The feature or service is supposedly offer thru the 'Bellsouth Fast Access" department but I couldn't find any representative who knew what it was or how to order with the exception of one - but of course he wasn't sure how to direct me to obtaining the service. Because of the fiber optic wiring in the neighbor hood, the standard dialup service is severely hindered because of a switching device called an SLC which converts analog to digital thus dropping the connection speed of standard dialup modems which are analog. Highest speed I can obtain is 28800 compared to 52000 in a neighborhood where the wiring is all copper. I would like to know where to obtain more info about this service and where to order it from. Thank You.... -- ================================================================== | Etop Udoh | Http://www.geocities.com/sdruid11 | | P.O.
