Typically ADSL can reach as far as 18 kft from the central office
To extend the reach, service providers have a host of options

Challenges to ADSL technologies

Echo

(Reflection of the Signal on the line)

Cross-talk (interference from other users)
Reach (distance from the Internet Service
Provider)
Impulse Noise disturbance (from other
electronic equipments)

Solutions
Use

of Echo Canceller
Estimating, modeling and canceling /
mitigation of Cross-talk
Improved Signal on the line Equalization
techniques to extend reach
Impulse Noise Protection (use of specialized
error-control and channel coding techniques)
