MStar Fiber Utopia Whatever!

Its always nice for company's to tout Symmetrical internet connections but they should first make the system stable. All the people i know who have any of the Utopia fiber or any other kind of residential fiber has problems all of the time. I work at a colo and all of my clients who tout there "fiber connection" come back to me and say it sucks! Then they go back to the QMOE or bonded T1's in there office. Hopefully someday fiber will be stable enough and the businesses who offer it for cheap will be stable enough with there financial business model. GOOD LUCK FIBER!

What do you think transports the T1's? Fiber. The entire "network" (phone, cable, wireless, internet) rides on fiber. Most business of any size are fed directly by fiber-- they may be getting t1's but there is a good chance there is a mux in the telcom room. Most large business have oc3, oc12, oc48 and oc192's directly into thier data centers. The fiber issues you are seeing is best effort services-- there is not a problem with fiber transport to the customer. The problem is there is not enough transport on the back end, the transport is shared among many users like on dsl and cable. Where with t1's the customer is the only on using the 1.544-- they essentially own a dedicated time slot in the transport.
