Covad Finishes National ADSL2+ Network Buildout

Loring Wirbel writes on EE Times:

Covad Communications Group Inc. has completed upgrading its national digital subscriber line footprint to ADSL2+, the fastest asymmetric DSL speed carriers can implement without moving to very high-bit-rate DSL, which mandates shorter lengths between access multiplexers and the home.

Covad, one of the few national competitive local exchange carriers to survive the CLEC heyday of the late 1990s, now covers 14 million homes and businesses in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and Washington, D.C., providing downlink speeds of up to 25 Mbits/second.
