And mine (older Baltimore-area, ex-bell atlantic, now verizon) won't sustain 384x384 at 15k ft, it works with about 10% packet loss when dry and dies altogether when wet (actually, often even POTS won't work when wet in the last year or so; wires are getting worse). VZ won't do anything about it (well, they *did* finally (5 yrs later) get around to wiring for fios.) VZ *tells* you that 1.5x384 will work. Little do they know about older outside plant...
