Re: Telus Fiber Optic To The Home

said by DSGCLOUTIER See Profile :

I was speaking to a senior Telus representative the other day, who had some information that I presume most of the other techies didnt. In regards to fiber, One of the things he said was that internet speed will no longer be measured in megabits, but instead gigabits! He said that this is a few years down the road (3 years or so will be when its starting to get alot more common). Does this sound like it is too good to be true? And if anyone knows, what kind of speeds do the American companies with Fiber offer these days?
First of all, I don't work for TELUS nor any other corporate companies, yet I had this kind of information years ago.

Fiber cables are starting to be laid throughout all the expensive suites and possibly some private residential areas. There are no plans for FTTH, since that will cost a lot of money and there isn't enough workers in Vancouver to complete the fiber installment on time.

Residential areas will be stuck with 6.0 Mbps (ADSL2+) for many many many years. This is part of the anti-competitive scheme imposed by TELUS. The rest of the world in general will likely have at least 10 Mbps by then.

Tell your rep you ain't falling for that. And tell your rep he knows nothing about broadband. I know more than he does!!!

Anybody know of a way to just make a particular anonymous user's posts never show up for me at all on the forums?
