Re: That would cool if it works
Firewire - that is a fair question. In a general mathematical sense it's related in a way. The fact that all transmissions signal (rf, microwave, optics, etc) will degrade over distance. Copper uses RF to transmit data and can be extended by repeater, very costly to maintain.
VZ FIOS (last mile) is all optics, a wavelength (lambda)is assigned to each service offering (video, data, voice). Potentially FIOS can push through put speed of over 600MB/s and up to 1000MB/s (GigE)or even higher. This is depending on the transmitting equipment of course. Service speeds of 5MB, 10MB, 30MB, 50MB, 20/20 MB/s is just the starting point. Of course this means Billions of dollars are need to upgrade the Backbone infrastructures. Doesn’t make sense to give the end user a Ferrari with no road to drive on. Cable is still working DOCS 3.0, so we'll see. Fiber is the future, Coring has already invented fiber that can be bent 360 degrees that can still transmit data. »www.corning.com/opticalfiber/med···902.aspx. This future is here ... content and application developers need to catch up. |

said by Oleg  :How about the price if it's going to cost $80-$100 a month no thanks. Its up to 250Mbps man. Well worth $100 or even some more. |

I know it was copper. Just wonder if same math formulas, etc can be applied to fios. |

firewire... I do believe the title of this was 250mbps over copper. not fiber which is what fios is. |

I would think that it is still in their best interest to deploy the fiber for Verizon so they can have their triple play sooner and don't have to worry about POTs maintenance issues with copper quality (or distance for that matter). AT&T since they are doing their u-verse DSL then it would be in there interest to watch (maybe even invest) in the service so they can use it in there DSLAMs (which they keep upgrading as it is for more features and speed) as a standard upgrade down the road. |

I wouldn't think this would apply to FIOS since it uses fiber which doesn't have interference problems. Its clean!!! like the kid says in the commercial. |

Depends, is there interference from neighbors on a fiber line?

Livonia, MI | That would great if that works. But ya wonder if it smokes and mirrors going on here?
Can the same math formulas be applied to FIOS? |
