Re: Wait Just a minute.... It seems the more U-verse rolls out the more you post against it. This is product that is improving and moving forward. The problems at this point do not appear to be in the vdsl or the copper, but the iptv and stb code.
1. The entire point of u-verse is to drastically shorten the copper loops. Lots of new vrads are going in place. This is a point you continue to ignore.
2.It appears they are rapidly accelerating to new markets. They would probably like to be farther along at this point, but they do appear to ready for a nationwide rollout.
3. They do have more to offer. Lower prices and more features. I know i am paying less and getting more.
4. They are losing land lines, but gaining cell lines and broadband. This is not a company in trouble. U-verse voip is not far away either.
5. Judging by the mailers I am getting from TW to get my to switch back, I would say competition is working.
6. See #5
7. I cant argue with that as fiber is the right technical solution, however it remains to be seen if it is the right answer economically. If spends a 1/4 of what verizon does and get the same 15% to switch to a new service, it will be obvious who is providing the best return to their shareholders.
8. so far att has signed 8 statewide agreements for u-verse and they have even got an interim agreement for deploying service in Geneva. I hate to break it to you, people are ready for cable competition.
9. ATT is not going away anytime soon.
10. Technically they are right. However it carries more financial risk than FTTN.
11. See $10 |
