- My ISP is using USR Total Control rackmounts and the local phone company is
- using Channel Banks to provide the lines. The result has been disastrous.
- Regardless of line quality, connect speeds for users dropped a notch (i.e. if
- they were previously getting 28.8, now they only get 26.4, if they're lucky).
- No one can get a 28.8 or higher any longer. The ISP has had onsite support
- with USR engineers and the phone company and they finally determined that the
- problem lies with the channel banks. A test line was run straight from the CO
- switch to a rack of Total Controls. That test setup produces 28.8 and higher
- connections consistantly.
-
- So, in short, look to some other solution besides channel banks. They are
- fine for low-speed work, but for 28.8 and higher, they just don't cut it.

- BTW, my ISP is now experimenting with PRI to the Total Control racks. PRI
- seems to be a much better solution (PRI is 24 64kb ISDN lines).
