Why does the customer premise have to be within a certain distance limitation of the DSLAM?
Because DSL is a high speed data service, the distance between the customer premise and the DSLAM affects the rate at which data can travel across the copper wires. The usual distance limitation is 18,000 feet from the Central Office, however due to advanced technology employed by Plateau, that distance limitation of 18, 000 feet from the Central Office no longer applies. Today, Plateau is able to serve many customers that are over 100,000 feet from the Central Office. Please read below for more details.
