When we do DSL, we service everything out of
ADSL2+ combo cards on Zhone MXK gear.
-Integrated metallic testing on the combo cards helps reduce truck rolls
-Having dialtone on the pair helps with
identifying pairs in the field using ANAC
-Having dialtone on a pair provides sealing current
-Having dialtone on a pair stops other techs from
"stealing" the pair for something else, because they think it isn't in use
-Derived voice (VoIP on CPE) makes the voice more
subject to line impairments, etc.
At peak we had around 6000 leased CLEC copper pairs from the local ILEC.
Just notes from personal experience.

If POTS last mile is available, why complicate it with VoIP?
Because it is cheaper and easier? It is a lot of
equipment there simply does not need to be
there. If you have DSL you have CPE equipment
and that CPE equipment can have FXP out for very
little extra. You also save having filters to separate DSL and voice.
In any case, even the ILEC here is dropping
analog and delivering phone services via VoIP
and FXP out on the CPE. I believe because the
technician only needs to go to the DSLAM to
connect you. If you are also getting analog
voice, he needs to go to the CO too because
voice and DSLAM are no longer cohosted.
