A must-have for communication engineers

Overall the book is well-written and concise. The author is very adept at introducing new topics in a clear and efficient manner. The book is the best single source I found for professionals who quickly want to come up to speed on DSL technologies.

A frustrating technical book.

I visited this book with certain technical questions in mind. I was offered great hope by its Table of Contents: it certainly looked like a thorough coverage of the DSL technology. Maybe it really is. But the way the materials are written renders the book almost useless. There exist numerous erroneous equations as if the book was not proof-read at all. I was also disturbed by the fact that very few (almost no) explanations are offered after equations, tables and figures are presented or derived. Instead of being told, readers are expected to guess what the writers intentions are.

probably good, but putrid writing style

There seems to be a lot of useful information in this text, but to get to it you must wade through a small mountain of transposed dependent clauses, misuse of plural case, typographical error, and generally putrid writing style. It seems the author learned english as a second language, and no one did a careful review prior to publication.
