Actually, the subject should read 3 2 1, no?
And I don't know why this is front page material. I think T's "new" equipment was probably salvaged from a dumpster at one of Comcast's headends.

You do realize that Comcast doesn't actually own ANY of the internet backbone?
Comcast gets their connectivity from companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Level 3, just like everyone else.

Don't know a thing about Comcast's infrastructure but I CAN tell you that my own internet connection runs from 12000 to 20000 down and 1000 to 3000 up....which is clearly twice as fast as uverse. Of course, since I live in one of T's redlined broadband dialup ghettos, I guess you could say that Comcast is virtually infinitely faster.

| So you really have no legitimate comparison or experience with the service you're griping about as "slow". Nor are you familiar with AT&Ts architecture vs Comcast. Ok. |

Re: 1.2.3.... no it should be "other countries already have deployed 100 Gbps to the home.."
I laugh when people complain about not being fast enough.. I remember a time my company was paying $45,000.00 a month for 6 mbps service .. heck a T1 ran about $3500.00 a month with telco/data charges -- now it's $42.95 a month and the performance is about the same  |

Granted, they won't be selling transit to other services, and they aren't likely to be joining the nine "Settlement Free" Tier 1 networks.

Remember they promised everyone 100 megabits by 2009. I wouldn't hold your breath for it though. |

Where is it? I've viewed various backbone maps over the years, and never seen *any* Cable company represented. |

| Did any of those maps show the old SBCIS backbone?
You are aware that there is a Tier 1, "Settlement free" group of transit providers running backbones? And there are networks who buy transit from Tier 1 networks, but have other peering arrangements, which are called "Tier 2" networks? And everybody else buys transit from some other transit provider.
No cable company is a Tier 1 network; they don't trade packets ("Settlement free peering"), nor do they sell transit to other providers. They do have their own, internal backbones. It is entirely possible for a Comcast user to run on the Comcast network from coast to coast without traversing a Tier 1 "backbone" provider's network.
