Sadly AT&T is now locked-in to a "active fiber" network along with the active VRAD field nodes. They could've simply copied Verizon's passive optic network and saved a ton 'o money over the life of the system (as many here tried to tell them). But no, they saved a maybe 50% for now -- only to pay twice as much later to finish the job.

It wouldn't look so bad if Verizon hadn't already shown them way -- and thousands of others tried to tell 'em. AT&T has no excuse (hell the NSA probably would've paid half! ;0 )
AGREED ... thats what happens when you got old guys who pinch pennies running a company do.

When you run a company the investors are either behind you or not. Either way you tell them you guys wanted me here so I am making the smart decisions. If you don't like it invest your money in Quest stock which is going no where.

If you want long term profits and lower operating costs and less truck rollouts = less money more profit then build a store so you can sell your product.

You cant buy a piece of land and make parking spaces without building a walmart people dont' want a flee market they want a store they want a quality product without the hassle.

If Att is going to offer TV don't pussy foot around buy it and build it. And show the Cable co's this is what competition really is. Give them a run for the money.

People look at the prices in walmart and say oh yes more for less money i like the idea of that.

why is walmart so popular? hmm no brainer.

But there is the other people who want specific items and they go to the specialty store. (bussiness class)

Other than that Im not going to Target to get the same exact product and pay more just so i can say i went to tar'zjay.

I just love the idiology. Your shoe wears out get it resouled even if you only save half price as opposed to buying a new pair. Dont they know the upper part of the shoe will wear out soon? NO BRAINER. :uhh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19690963 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 03:17:12 EDT Re: current offering http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19690819 djrobx : I won't go as far as to say it's crap, but it's extremely disappointing for me.

I currently record up to four HD channels at a time on my existing cable setup. I have 10/1 internet. This brand new freshly deployed system cannot deliver what I have now delivered on a network deployed 10 years ago? In its current state it is mighty crappy!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19690819 Thu, 27 Dec 2007 02:06:49 EDT Re: current offering http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19689720 bogey780 : Active fiber is pretty good stuff.

I think the current UVerse offering will be great for a lot of customers and will only get better as AT&T deploys to more markets and works out some of the bugs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19687721 Wed, 26 Dec 2007 14:01:39 EDT current offering http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19687698 ztmike : I think once they realize the potential of fiber to the home, they will deploy it..

But till then, they (atat) will stick with their current offering.
