Well, if they'd open up the pipes to allow for users to get close to whatever their sync rates are..there certainly could be room enough for 2 hdtv streams. Maybe not with HSI being used but again...this is part of the concept i'm suggesting to allow for user control over their bandwidth.
There are a lot of households out there with just 2 or 3 people in them...and Uverse could fit the bill for a family that size. If someone sync rate was 50 to 60Mb..that family could be watching 2 hd streams while someone was surfing the net. Maybe not at Fios like HSI speeds...but still something reasonable. Here's the key though to my suggestion. There would be NO caps on that HSI service. So..lets say someone wanted to kick their HSI up a notch..they shut off a hdtv.
All that bandwidth then could be used for the HSI connection instead.
Flexible..user controlled..on demand..bandwidth.
This could really help set uverse apart..and it seems to me to be something very doable with their whole system..even as it exists today.
Again, this is essentially what powerboost is on the comcast service I'm on..which is what had me thinking in this direction for Uverse.
Except it's controlled at the network level..not user controlled.
Bottom line is..I really don't understand WHY AT&T needs to put caps on the HSI. Why make it 6Mb when there's 50, 60Mb or more sync rates available there right now?
They're trying to allocate bandwidth..when instead they could leave it up to the customer.
I'm seriously starting to think that AT&T should just send me a check for helping save their company..and namely this disaster of a service called Uverse.
