too far from the CO? Use a second pair |
|
|
For rural users too far from the central office to qualify for ADSL,
why doesn't the phone company just use a second (or more) pair of
wires from the bundle on the pole, effectively doubling the wire size,
e.g., in http://www.iec.org/online/tutorials/adsl/ Am I off my rocker?
Even if the user was willing to pay extra? |

I don't know about your rocker but it doesn't work that way.
Remember, 9 women can't make a baby in 1 month no mater how hard they try. |

In addition to having babies simultaneously, both lines will have
noise-- and the noise will most likely be from the same sources, so it
will be correlated. This means you won't get any improvement in the
signal-to-noise ratio from combining them. You'll just get the same
signal plus the same noise, only louder.
