Summary: The standard reference
Comment: Starr and Cioffi's book was enormously valuable as we wrote our own book, DSL, a Wiley Tech Brief. It's not easy going, but this is the primary source. Cioffi developed the DMT standard that is nearly universal in the ADSL world, and Starr has led the leading technical committee. Their knowledge makes a difference. The CD enclosed has thousands of pages of original technical documents.

Rating: 4
Summary: Good book for advanced readers
Comment: This is a good introduction to xDSL technologies IF you already are experienced in digital communications. If you aren't versed in topics such as Decision Feedback Equalization, the treatments here are too terse, and you will need a back up reference. On the other hand, if you have some education in the given topic, (QAM, trellis coding...) this book shows nicely how it fits into the DSL picture.

If you come from outside the telecom industry, this book also gives a nice low level explanation of the telephone network and how DSL technologies overcome its impairments to deliver high data raes.

Rating: 4
Summary: No SDSL
Comment: There is a myriad of information here, but it never discusses SDSL, the flavor that is becoming the choice of businesses. The CD included with the book has 3 file drawers worth of white papers, etc from the IEEE T1 committee. It is worth buying the book just for what is on the CD, but do not expect every flavor of DSL to be discussed.
