Well ... 25-pair cables *are* 50 wires, and the dots on solid

The twisting helps keep them together so you don't have to search
through 49 other wires to find the other half of a pair. :-)


Not only re he pairs twisted, but the twist rate varies from pair to
pair to reduce the crosstalk even further.

They probably researched the hell out of that to end up with what they
did. I'm sure digital/optical tech is even more heavily researched as
the 2.5Gbs trunks get over 40k conversations or 250 TV channels
simultaneously. (I'm sure it's much faster now.) Zimply Amazing.

Our local rapist, Centurylink, offers sizzling 5Mbs DSL to me at this
time. sigh

Thats what get from Time Warner as well as 13 channels of plain jane
TV for $79/month

I'm paying $74/mo for basic phone and slow internet, no TV.

Our cell phones (3) Sprint...cost us about $265/month in addition.
I keep telling the wife that we do NOT need to be subsidizing our 12
yr old granddaughter and her cellphone...but the wife "needs" to be
able to do the video thing with her and the 3 grandkids...as they live
800+ miles away...and she needs the interface. Cheap peace
keeping...sorta.
They video chat while we are in Walmart...looking at the clothes, at
the park, at the lake, at the grocery store, etc etc etc...sigh.

Unlimited voice and data ....shrug

Dont have grand children unless you can pay for them....
