Re: We addressed this problem in 2001.
said by wishcom  :that's not how it works. fttp that's available to residential locations is provisioned completely differently than a dedicated tariffed commercial circuit, that runs directly from CO to premise. everything is different, from the mux'es to the physical/facilities/routing/etc. it's like saying since there's copper by your house, you should be able to get T1's and T3's, just because the copper is there. No, I am saying money talks B.S. walks. You have it, anybody that wants it can get it. The problem is they want a free lunch. |

said by wishcom :Anyone at a commercial location can get a number of options from ATT, such as opt-e-man, gigaMAN, etc. Not the FTTP you're thinking of though. This is not residential FTTP etc. Does the fiber pass places where people live? It makes cents and dollars to supply a service to people that can afford it. You have a fiber connection and you can resell that service. It makes cents for everybody. |

yes, our fiber circuit is supplied by at&t.
and, a correction - no, att or comcast do not serve the MAJORITY of our coverage area. att and comcast don't touch the Verizon territory where we're located.
not sure why dsl or cable are a better choice considering the contracts, poor technical support, and asynchronous limitations... but if you're looking for the cheapest service available they're great. |
