Yeah, I suppose they could twist my arm 'til I took 10/10 as the minimum... LOL! ;)
Believe me, a higher minimum speed is ALWAYS better. It was really nice to see them offering package that REALLY make fiber capability shine...Well, as much shine as can be without having a setup like Japan, etc. has.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15505963 Sat, 18 Feb 2006 13:38:10 EDT Re: Finally! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15505938 dadkins : Yeah, I suppose they could twist my arm 'til I took 10/10 as the minimum...

Someone gets it right! Equal speeds up and down. What I could do with 10/10. Hell, I'd probably go for the 100/100 if it wasn't too expensive.

Lucky people...
EXACTLY! Symetrical is what fiber is supposed to be! ;)
5/5 would be enough to keep me happy!
Sure, but when they are giving out 10/10 as standard, and even higher packages, who complains? People like us certainly wouldn't.

On another note, I'd be thrilled to see their prices.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15505645 Sat, 18 Feb 2006 12:40:39 EDT Re: Finally! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15505592 roamer1 :

Doing some checking I find that OEN has a deal with Houston fiber company Phonoscope which already is running past 250,000 residences. »www.4fiber.tv/OENAssets/pressRel···unch.pdf Phonoscope also claims they are within 500 meters of 1.6 million homes in the Houston area. If this news is accurate, OEN could expand relatively quickly.
Phonoscope, huh? They used to provide TV directly to a lot of places (mostly apartments/condos) around Houston, then they sold their residential business (to OpTel, now known as TVMax) to focus on the commercial market, and now they're back in the residential cable business, as themselves (that's what accounts for the 250k homes passed figure.)

Houston is really a bit of an anomaly -- most cities don't have that sort of deep competitive fiber build. Atlanta certainly doesn't outside of the major business districts...in most residential areas and in the suburbs in general, the only fiber there is belongs to BellSouth and Comcast or Charter. :(

Man, 10/10 as the standard service sure makes Verizon look like a Turd Sandwich! LOL!

The symmetrical internet link is enticing as is their triple play capability. SBC could really hate to see this roll out and be successful. The question is "will they be successful"? A startup company with big ideas like this needs a lot of investment money. Can they get it during the years while money is going out a lot faster than it is coming in?

And Fision is the product name. The name of the company is Optical Entertainment Network. »www.4fiber.tv/ Here is a nice drawing of their planned Houston endeavor: »www.4fiber.tv/fisionToTheHome.htm
