Haha, well, Gabe always does torque me up on these...
For Cavalier, RADSL means different technology than whatever Gabe is
referring to. As Russell points out, Cavalier uses Rate-Adaptive ADSL,
which is a branding of a specific vendor's hardware they install. What
I meant, was that they don't use standard ADSL. It appears that is only
true of some areas though, because if they use Verizon/ADSL in Center
City, I'd assume that was standard ADSL technology.
I was not referring to any other service provider's use of RADSL Gabe, I
was being specific. Sorry if I didn't say that.
