I would call it a proven technology, but a very poor business model.
And xDSL is definately not for mission critical operations.

x is sometimes "H".

Are you sure you want to say HDSL is not for mission-critical operations?


Very well put.  I do not think however that many cosider HDSL to be part to
the DSL family (mainlydue to the fact that it often uses two pairs instead
of one).  I think if we are talking xDSL, HDSL is in most cases excluded
from the picture.
