| Why U-Verse? It would appear, looking at the throughput, that it's very similar to DSL. So why not just get DSL?
The only differences I see are these:
If you have FTTP, which isn't everyone. Perhaps that means one could get 6.0M when they could have only gotten 1.5M before? I really don't know. I wish someone can enlighten me.
The upload is slightly higher, but sans servers and RDP/VNC I don't see a point in caring about upload. So I'd care about upload more than the great majority of people who don't run servers and/or RDP/VNC.
TV? Give me a break. Firstly, I'm one of those odd people who don't watch TV, and thus I don't want to pay for it. Second, I think it's a little odd to get TV through the telco. If I wanted TV I'd use cable or satellite, or just use rabbit ears. Running everything through a single pipe is just a bad idea anyway, especially with "best effort" and "up to."
What they should do is that where there is FTTP, they should offer a 10/2 Internet-only option. I bet a lot of people would be all over that. |
