Another reason for me to ditch crappy CEBridge Cable all together. I can't wait until SBC upgrades this area. I've been reading a lot on that receiver on 2wire's website as well. Interesting to see where we will be come the beginning of 2006 with all this.
My first post for 2005  .

The box looks nice, and boost some pretty impressive stats, increased competition, may mean lower rates for everyone.

Re: Cool
A lot of areas in Ohio won't see the upgrades for a long time to come.
Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo will be the first after that--they will slowly move to new cities.
Its all about how much they're going to make back. |

Re: Great but....
You should read about the box on 2Wire's website. It is a satellite box.
It looks like SBC is going to keep using Dish to provide tv service via a dish on the house like they do now. All that SBC seems to be doing is the possibility of provider faster DSL service because the video isn't going to be going over their network. What a waste of time and money. SBC should invest money into developing a next generation network instead of limping along with DSL and satellite service.  |

dual 8VSB tuners, dual 8PSK tuners, a 250GB HD, DSL modem, 8002.11G wi-fi.
the mediaportal sounds a little leaner, but damn that thing sounds prohibitively expensive.(think directv's HDtivo, with a DVD player, a dsl modem, a wi-fi bolted on)

| I have TWC here and they rasied their rates again. Adelphia I don't know of. I havent checked my cable bill where they service at.
SBC had a thing on their website with where they plan on putting fiber in terms of where it would make money. I'll have to find it again and post it. I seen it about 2 weeks ago on C-SPAN as well at about 3am but don't recall which day i seen it. |

I don't think this is the set-top box that they will use with their video-over-fiber service.
I read other articles about this and they state that the only internet this thing uses is for music, possibly internet surfing, and photos.
I assume they will wait on deploying a new set-top 'video-over-dsl' box untill they upgrade most of thier existing network (aka years away).

Re: it ain't gonna be cheap
I have SBC DSL (3mbup/512kbdown for $35 a month), and the 2wire modem that SBC offered.
I know when I was able to get this great 2wire ethernet/usb/wireless modem that has a great interface and is easy to use (The 1000sw) It was a $150 modem and SBC made it $50. So it may be espensive, but I see SBC offer great deals on equipment, unlike COX Cable, who either rents you a box for a monthly fee or makes you go buy your own here.
I'm excited and am ready to switch to SBC. They take care of their customers pretty good. |
