I hope ATT reads this. I am getting high pings while playing online games. I was not getting this with my DSL. It worked great with DSL and no TV/Uverse hooked up to it. I would like to change this part of the review for the better. If it happens I will update this review.

| From the industry's front end. U-Verse. Well, from all that I understand about IPTV, ADSL, PONs, and CATV, I can tell you that the best way to think about U-Verse is probably "Fiber To The Premise" (FTTP) or "Fiber To The Curb (FTTC) via PON (passive optical network) to insert into a POTS and deliver broadband via a DSL based delivery. Basically dial tone carrying al alot more additional frequency range in the analog signal. The signal is stripped and delivered via a DSL modem/router AKA DSL Gateway. If you have U-verse and a home network, you might have noticed that each of your TV boxes has an IP address. Thats because each box is nothing but an Eth-to-COAX converter and are just new nodes in yours and U-Verse's network. That allows channel selection across the massive (relatively massive) amount of bandwidth. So why is your connection only 3Mb/s, 6Mb/s or etc. The "pipe" may be 10 Mb/s but the bandwidth is throttled for quality assurance. After all, you may have only paid for 1.5 Mb/s and 80 Cable channels. Anyhow, thats how I've designed MSO (multi service operators (CATV)) networks for a major cable company in the midwest. All this is just a guess about how U-Verse works. When you see it from the inside of the creative process, its all the same. | |
