I ask forgiveness from those who read me, but I had a long period of thoughts, problems, hindrances and difficulties which forced me not to write more about any of my blog. Actually, drafts of articles I have collected a large mountain, but for various reasons I never found the time to complete them, fix them and post them: stay there, waiting for a new reading again, hoping that something will come out. Having said that, although in theory I should not be here writing these lines, but should I put the muzzle to slam on the job, I thought I would distract Stuffing a short visit here, and find stuff three months old, I said, "throws down a line" ... What chatting? Cars? Economics? Politics? No, ADSL
! The idea comes from a research done in these hours that I took down his eye on a nice of
Alessandro Longo. For those who do not know, Alexander writes for IDG and editor for many newspapers, the Corriere 
Sole 24 Ore, through Republic, is a computer scientist and every time your articles are featured in magazines : For those interested also point out his personal website,
Alessandro Longo. Telephony, hi-tech and journalism
.
From the article the picture is a bit 'paradoxical
in recent years have clogged the head with talk on the increase in speed downloads
ADSL connections, but the reality is that the communication network, which still relies almost entirely on that phone, is inexorably falling owing to the age of infrastructure. In short ... keep the pair of poles of the '70s and '60s: the first so 'fracichi artre that have all the holes and crolleno ... Now you will say what they said they were all officers of phone companies in Italy: damn woodworm "..." government thief, does it always rain on wet "..." it always rains "... Especially the last
(
" it always rains ") is the biggest problem: on poles Italian ( primary source of food for the worms of the European continent ) seals the cables made with modern ( time ... it was Julius Caesar in a seance can confirm ) rubber
were slightly damaged and hours kilometers of copper pairs (known
metal does not oxidize like other metals ... but it does much more quickly ... ) are beautifully weather. Now ... we were still under Fascism, the local hierarchy appear before the exposed wires and
require them to continue to function under the storm and they
, cables, with manly boldness, obey the cry "I do not care !"... Alas we are under the Republic and ergo have no miraculous hierarchy, but the commonest of technicians, which before the exposed wires, which has no other means, they say, "I do not care!" Turning on his heel and walk away scribbling something on verbal intervention ... Here, as is clear from the news article in question and, after at least sixteen years of maintenance menefreghistiche, the result is that Mom Telecom solves the problem by closing 50 stations and declaring that she, when placing a contract worth at least 7 Mega 2.1 Mb / s download can certainly guarantee ( sottointendento that if you are traveling at speeds exceeding it by chance, they are missing anything ... ) and so there should be enough, while looking for a solution, the best value possible for them ... Others, like mine operator TeleTu , say adopt methods to ensure all customers to reach at least 2.1 Mb / s download
: that will make false papers to force customers to use Internet as if they had a 56Kb and not an ADSL connection. Then they come out with the curious idea ADSL lines that are used to navigate the websites and read e-mail, as well as make phone calls on VoIP. Virtually
TeleTu case the last 5 years of telematic innovations as holding that the ADSL is used today is misused ( streaming video, online gaming, peer-to-peer ... all things demonic because they do not are able to offer a service that can support this use of the network ... ). want to be frank if you read the homepage
of
Google News, look for an address on Google Map , read e-mail, perhaps on G-Mail, and maybe even write a blog about Blogger
and peep the video of the neighbor's cat on YouTube
... save yourself money and buy yourself a modern home ADSL smartphones : there only 5 € per month
(
you read that right) to do all these things and download in a month from 3 to 5 GB of data ( according to operator choice) ... "why pay more" ? The two ISPs that have come out best Tiscali and FastWeb : the first will probably get these results only in Sardinia, where its head office, the latter offers excellent services only in ULL , that is, if you are connected with optical fiber directly to their line, while wholesale with Telecom Italy offers a bit more ( but read a few things around the net, it works like everyone else ). now you see only the differences between domestic and business contract, but only and exclusively because a company pays twice as a home user and the service is not at least decent, rarely falls back on the joint arbitration, but leaves all in the hands of the office (he did
) or change supplier without batting an eye, considering all the same and expendable without hesitation.
The truth is that there is no solution ( move to the States? Or in Bora-Bora to cultivate vanilla ... ). If the problem is in basic infrastructure, there being a single point of control, you can only wait and hope in various projects, mostly of local importance, which they pretend to find an answer that already exists, but nobody wants to openly declare: must throw everything down and replace the pair with coaxial
. The problem is that everything in our country has always moved at least ten years too late
, but on this issue we can not do anything outside our borders because our competitors
moved from just five years and are only now experiencing, and we are already beginning to have problems now, before others have found a solution to buy sight unseen and sell to the public as pure Italian innovation. Internet has caused a shock to Italy as a nation accustomed that everything moves slowly, that for every problem there is at least a subterfuge to avoid it, that all just a bribe to solve a dilemma, Italy and Italians can not get used to something totally devoid of middle ground and, moreover, too intransigent, such as telecommunications networks. on the Internet, from the practical and technical point of view, things are clear : O on (1
) or off (0
), it can not be switched to half power (zeruno. .. unozero mezzoruno ... ... ... zeromezzuccio Zuzu?). In sum, a great catch. Nothing you can pretend it is not: it does not work, does not work and that the average Italian can not tolerate ... Mica is not used, but how? One thing that you can not rappattumare? Is there really? Accustomed for nearly two millennia, even the worst crimes that may be in extremis rappattumati (
enough to confess on his deathbed that the priest is giving us the de profundis
), poorly tolerated reasoning track.
What to do?
Well, it has run understand they want to do: make fools investors with ideas that no one can put into practice; Oten public funds for research that will not be completed or which may result "better to leave everything as it is" , leave everything as it is precisely, and wait. But wait? Simple: the poles rot and that the cables break due to oxidation, or that the copper mines run out on the face of the planet. Then who will live, will see ...
