| whoopie 10 Gb connection with what kind of cap? Nice speed but not worth it if they are going to institute BS caps on the service.

kudos:2 | Correction The 10 Gbps is shared among everyone on the node. So realistically Verizon will be able to push gigabit down, 250 Mbit up service over the upcoming network. just clarifying  |

Re: whoopie Well, it's kind of the nice thing about actually investing in your network architecture: you don't need "BS caps." You might still need some kind of cap/wall/system that isolates 99.4% of your customers from the kind of gluttons who should be on business tiers, but you shouldn't need "BS caps." |

BTW, at this point it is only a marketing ploy, but if it is rolled out, and I don't see why something like it won't, I wonder what cable's response will be??

Re: Correction RFoG.
Seriously, 8x4 channel bonded DOCSIS 3.0 will be out soonish, but that's at most 304/120...with one person spread across all eight channels.
So all Verizon has to do is push out a 350 Mbps down, 150 Mbps up tier and cable has to bring fiber all the way to the home to compete.
Heck, if Verizon came out with 150/30 right now cable couldn't compete, since even the highest-end deployments in teh US are one channel up, four channels down DOCSIS 3. |

San Diego, CA | 40/100 Gb/s switches It has been a few years since I heard 10Gb line cards were as good as it gets, but are 40 or 100 ones at all common by now?
Still 10Gb to the home is a sweet goal. |

Santa Clara, CA | Self-confessed bandwidth nerd Kudos to FIOS! As a self-confessed bandwidth nerd, I can tell you that 100M/100M service is wonderful to behold. I find new uses for it every day.
But if you think it's easy to push more than 100M thru a typical router/firewall, think again! I had to build a special router from a single-board computer to even get to this speed:

| Too bad Too bad the telcos have things tied up so that Verizon couldn't provide me FiOS even if they wanted to (barring a buyout of Qwest). My only choice for faster-than-DSL Internet service is cable, which is why I use Comcast. |

Re: Great news but.... Wish I could get that here. Too far out (back in TX now). That said, I've heard that the new VZ DSL system around here is problematic overall. |

Re: Too bad Fios is not even available here in my neck of the woods, best we can get is 12mbits from grande communications and even then that company isnt very consistant with their speeds and latency. |

Washington, DC | Those be backbone speeds 10 Gbps, them be backbone speeds. To be honest I didn't even think you could push 10Gbps over a single fiber beyond a few miles and even that is using ethernet. I'm really curious about what the range is on this and if they could actually start playing with this to connect backbone locations assuming it has any real range and can compete against OC-X connections in terms of reliability. |
