ADSL2+ coming soon

I caught up with an installer putting some equipment into our brand new roadside cabinet. This is what he had to say.

@iceflyevents It wouldn't be redundant if it didn't support bi-directional. The telco I work for does bi-directional to all the DSLAM's if one fiber link goes dark. Not that it matters.

[iceflyevents]

@phattieg Yes and no. I believe it has to be configured to allow bi-directional (Half Duplex) over one fibre core (The end equipment would have to support it aswell).

[phattieg]

@iceflyevents But if one of the two connections go dark, the remaining connection goes bi-directional. Other more likely scenario, the two wires are basically a ring/loop. One goes dark, the loop still see's light coming from the other way, and also triggers a condition alarm about loss of laser/light on the fiber.

awww, puppy wants high speed intenet as well ;P

Why does the guy say there is redundancy and there are 2 fibre optical cables? One of them is for receiving data and one is for sending data so obviously there isn't any backup.
