With the success of V.34 wireline technology running at 28.8 Kbps over the PSTN (public switched telephone network), the next level of readily available high data rate communications to the home over twisted pair is ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) at 160 Kbps. But already the communication providers are anticipating the implementation of a new generation of high speed communications that will provide 6 Mbps to the home. And on the drawing boards of the ANSI T1E1.4 committee are plane for providing 54 Mbps to the home over twisted pair in conjunction with fiber to the curb technology. This paper discusses some of the issues associated with high data rate communications over twisted pair.
