I am located on the 19th floor of a 32 floor building.  The entire building is
wired with AT&T's 110 PDS.  I am running 9.6kb circuits to all 32 floors and
have experienced no noise problems at all.  The only negative comment I could
make on 110's, is we have noticed they don't take to repeated 'punches' like
the old 66 blocks did, ie. we have had some poor connections if the block
has had cross-connects changed on it several times.  The average circuit in
this building has a minimum of 3 x-connects on it, so I guess that speaks
well of the system.
