That's great. You work for the company and support their major competitors for wireless, video and internet. That's certainly one way to support your company and, more importantly, your job!Can you blame him? At&t needs to offer a better solution to win customers.
Expecting him to be loyal to at&t because they contract jobs to him is like expecting at&t to be loyal to him when he needs work.

Do you think that just because that's the limit they have it at now that it's the limit of the physical equipment? Hopefully not. The limits of the VDSL deployment they are doing at typical loop lengths is somewhere around 25Mbps... However they won't let you "Just" order U-Verse Internet. Most of the 25mbps speed is reserved for the video streams and their VOIP. The most they will give you on Internet will be about 10/1. Unless they go ahead and change U-Verse to FTTH or install many more Remote terminals and shorten the loop length. They have gotten U-Verse up to about 100mbps but only on very short distances.

The HOPE that many of us have is that U-verse will be rolled out and over time at&t will go back and upgrade to full FTTH and then make more services and speeds available.

... but it could be awhile.

I install AT&T equipment for a living, and I don't even have their service :) They haven't flipped the switch on U-Verse here yet, but even when the do I don't plan on jumping from Brighthouse/RR.

The bonding of the two pairs for 25MB isn't a myth tho. The only question is how fast RR is going to go to match/beat it!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Forget-Copper-20483508 Wed, 14 May 2008 19:55:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Forget-Copper-20483159 said by weaseled386:

Not what I meant, but to have those kind of speeds..even Comcast beats that.

Isn't that about the speed of U-Verse?
Not even close..U-Verse tops out at 10/1.5 ..kinda sad..isn't it?
