oh great....

1.5 mpbs?

That's what my first broadband connection was....1.5mb dsl about 5-6 years ago.

What good is fiber at 1.5 mb?

Does it really matter that your PIPE to the household for Internet service is 1.5 Mbps when the aggregate PIPE of the local community is oversubscribed as hell. I hear some of the Internet connections that aggregate local community traffic can be oversubscribed as much 100/1.

Plain and simple, what most people don't realize is that residential service, whether it be delivered via Ethernet, Coax, Fiber, etc. has no quality of service and no service level agreements. Thus the 1.5 Mbps. Its the other applications like IPTV which will take advantage of the Fiber...for now.

"Qwest Sees the Light", more like "Qwest Sees the Profits" from getting newbies to sign onto capped fiber for (presumably) good deals of money.
