Re: Wow

C'mon now. You really don't think that this bloated piece of vaporizing copper is really going to make it, do you?

If you believe that, then you believe that the Titanic will be carrying passengers again in no time.

Don't you understand how soon Docsis 3.0 will be coming to a cable provider near you? Pewverse is finished man.
It is DOA out of the gate.

It's a 386sx pc in a world of Quad cores.

The question becomes... do I want to
Cable + HSI + VoIP + cellphone
or
Uverse + upto 6Mbps (5.5Mbps?) + VoIP + cellphone and save a few $$$

The 2 issues surrounding Uverse
1. Single stream HD (more important to most that pay the bill)
2. 6Mbps down 1Mbps up max (important to those that typically don't pay the bill - i.e. teens).

Uverse gives an option... as does DirecTv.

Wether its a pair of copper from 1 block to a VRAD or RG-59 copper to a node... do I really care ?

there is not going to be a uverse. Docsis 3.0 will see to that.

The cable co's and fios will take the industry standards to 30 to 50Mb easily.
People simply will not want uverse and below speeds when that happens.

I understand the concept of better package pricing and not everyone wanting the top tiers.

But uverse..as it stands now..will be way below what would otherwise be considered a value tier.

Their only hope is that they can get the speeds raised..and perhaps they can for those close enough to the vrad.

But isn't the whole thing just smelling of a pieced together pile of outdated junk already?

It certainly is, IMHO.

WHY..this company continues to pursue this is WAY beyond me.

Verizon is the only one who is doing this right with their fios rollout.
