Re: Fiber to the ? said by AGBell :
I'm wondering what the new plan is/will be for ADSL2 or UVerse or Homezone or whatever their latest name is for video via copper? Will they stay with copper? What about the BellSouth fiber deployment (if there is one) plan?
For customers in BellSouth territory I don't expect much change. BellSouth employees are still going to running the show day to day.
They (ATT) have already announced time and time again that they will stick with FTTN (Fiber to the Node) rather than to the house like Verizon.
As for BellSouth, since it is now ATT territory, they will be included in their FTTN plan. Since BellSouth had a much more agressive FTTN buildout to begin with it would stand to reason that ATT will probably put a lot of BellSouth areas at the top of the list to get their deployment (since little would have to be done to upgrade).

Can you provide some details? I live and work in a metro area (pop. 500,000) served by BellSouth. They have done little with FTTN in this state with the exception of running fiber to schools. Do you have official information from BellSouth that gives specific targets with dates for any of the southern states (excluding Georgia)? |

Not quite. Louisiana is as wired as any other state. Though they do have less FTTC than Florida or Georgia.
AT&T does not release deployment data in advance. |
