Hi

If your exchange gets upgraded to a MSAN.

What speeds will be availble?
 
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the exchange itself does not get upgraded. The MSAN is a field unit that is installed on strategic spots (ye right) to provide shorter last end terminations. Theoretically the MSAN can enable 20/40Mb.s lines.

The exchange also gets MSAN/ISAM in the exchange , it is all about the transition to IP switching and shortening the copper loop.
Obviously the subscribers close to the exchange would not need a street MSAN/ISAM .
Analogue switching is out dated hense the IP switching change.

If it walks like a duck and kwaks like a duck ..its a duck

Do you have a poultry fetish? :D:p
 
How do you know when an MSAN is activated and VDSL is available to you? I'm guessing they don't knock on your door and let you know. I ask because there is an MSAN near my house that had some techies working on it for a while, but is now being left alone.

In theory they should phone you or leave an automated message informing you of the upgrade.
