I'm in an AT&T FTTP area, and I dropped it due to the lack of bandwidth. Something tells me even with GPON it's going to be no different.

What about those of us with FiOS who have already had their neighborhood configured with BPON before the switch over to GPON? |

| So What?
I live in an AT&T area, but only for phone. I live too far from the C.O. to get DSL. So now I have to use the cable company, who's prices aren't even competitive to AT&T Static IP DSL.
Plus AT&T doesn't seem serious about their FTTP, and even if they were they still don't offer speeds faster than 10Mbit, even though they could. And they should, since there are people who'd pay for it.
I only hope this means more FTTP and faster speeds.
I can care less about their U-Verse TV. But I think that 20/20 Fiber Internet would be really nice right now, especially if they can do it within $100/mo. |

Verizon initially focused on California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Texas, stating late last year, and all new 2008 installs in those States will be GPON. Does anyone know which areas of California Verizon began this testing in? I'm guessing SoCal, but I'd really like some confirmation.

TPON! Affectionately known as 'Tampon" But who cares? I won't be getting any benefits of any new technologies because Verizon won't roll out services. Not even a crappy DSL here in suburban Los Angeles! |

Re: AT&T
you would think that they would even uncap the FTTP areas, or if not uncap, at least raise the bandwidth to win some points in the freaking PR department. everyone knows they can use it... |

Re: That's great and all but...
All Verizon has to do once they upgrade the central office with GPON cards is come out to your house and replace the ONT and they only need to do that when/if you get a 100Mbit+ connection. |

if this was 1993 it would be worth talking about but this is 2008!

Re: California
Santa Monica, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills. trust that you do not want to be on the first way of GPON... think back to the first wave of FIOS... in comparison.. think to every first gen of anything...

All that needs to change are CO line cards and ONT at customer. Fiber outside plant is not affected.

In other words.. it will work like a cablemodem.. a DOCSIS 3.0 cablemodem but none-the-less peak bandwidth usage will see some FALL-OFF.. probably as much as 25-megabit deficit per subscriber.. but still... that's damn good.. also don't expect those speeds end-to-end all over the place.. the internet isn't wired to give millions of subscribers 100mbit connections.. so expect some traffic delays as par for the course. It is also speculative that Verizon will actually be the first to "jump" into much higher speeds. First they will rub SYMMETRIC packages in the cable company's face to force them to upgrade to docsis 3.0... which means 10/10, 15/15, 20/20, 30/30, 50/50.. (if you get 50/50-- they will probably upgrade you to gpon) |

said by Gary A :Great! I have FiOS in Florida - 10/2Mbps. I didn't see Florida in the GPON list. In south Florida, RT's are connected via 100M Fibre ethernet.
Some day they may upgrade GigE over fibre.
Anything else, I doubt it.
They would end up throwing away a lot of equipment and going back to the custom equipment route. I don't see it that happening. |
