| Is this about ADSL2+ or FTTH? While this article only mentions "fiber", it mentions those "25mbps" speeds that ADSL2+ provides on short loops. In previous articles we've seen that SBC's plan is a "Fiber to the node" project, which seems to be little more than a Project Pronto part II, which brings fiber to nodes (think RTs) closer to homes, while the rest of the run is still copper.
SBC is claiming that 25mbps is enough for 4 channels of video plus high speed internet. I don't think a 25mbps copper DSL line is enough for all that, especially if you figure 4 channels of HDTV quality video. We're talking about something due to be completed 5 years from now. I want something future proof.
Since SBC is dangling carrots, maybe the government shoudl dangle their own carrot. You can have you way but only if you deploy a true fiber solution. Leave the copper there for the competitors to continue using.

| actually it is becuae you dont understand how tv over IP or dsl works you only stream the channel your watching and the boxes only can do up to 3 tv's at the current box from motorola fyi and that isnt HD/... |

| You are right, it is not HD signal. I work for a telco offering DSL TV, and High speed. the TV requires 3mbps, and we offer 1.5 mbps internet. @ 25mbps, we could in theory run 7 TVs, and still give a 5mbps connection. The number of TV's drops when you add HD, as it obviously uses more bandwidth. |
