SBC Advanced Solutions, Inc. (SBC ASI) announces that it will be enhancing and consolidating its DSL Transport products to maximize upstream bandwidth and to simplify the DSL Transport speed-tiers. Effective October 25, 2003, for new connect orders, SBC ASI’s DSL Transport products will be enhanced and consolidated as follows:
*****************************************
192 - 384Kbps X 128 - 256Kbps
192 - 1536Kbps X 128 - 256Kbps
384 – 1536Kbps X 128 - 256Kbps
768 – 1536Kbps X 256 - 384Kbps
384 - 416Kbps X 384 – 416Kbps
1536 – 4000Kbps X 384 - 416Kbps
4000 - 6000Kbps X 384 - 608Kbps
*****************************************
Migration of Existing Circuits
Existing DSL circuits provisioned via Central Office (CO) DSLAM will be migrated to the enhanced/consolidated products. Migration plans for circuits provisioned via a Remote Terminal (RT) will be determined at a later date. Migrations will be done in bulk; SBC ASI will not accept requests to migrate specific end-users prior to the completion of the bulk migrations. SBC ASI does not anticipate any end user downtime associated with these migrations.
SBC ASI plans to begin migrating the existing circuits to the enhanced speed profiles beginning on or before October 25, 2003. The number of circuits in this set of migrations is very large, and SBC ASI expects to complete these migrations by the end of 2Q-04. SBC ASI will communicate further details regarding the product and profile migrations as additional information becomes available.
************************************************** *********
What does this announcement mean for me as a customer?
SBC/ASI will be changing the speed profiles that are installed on the DSLAMs and RTs that provide DSL service to it's customers. The biggest change will be that the upload side of the DSL profiles will now be rate-adaptive versus a fixed speed. This will allow the upload side to achieve higher sync speeds, based on line conditions.
When will this change take place?
Tentative ETA for the change will be for the end of September, however not all customers will see the change once it occurs due to the volume of customers needing to be moved to the new profiles.
Do I need to call in to have my profile changed?
No, since this is being done network wide to all customers, there is no need for any customer action to make the change.
Will this affect my contract?
No, Your contract is not affected, nor does it reset or change in any way.
Will I need any new special equipment or a new modem?
No, your present equipment will work fine and there will be no need for any special procedures to achieve the new speeds.
Will I have to pay a new rate for the new speed?
No, there will no changes to the rates you are currently paying for the duration of your current contract.
i go from 256 to 384. :D
