said by a333:I'm not talking about the Greenfield installs. I mean that areas with pre-existing FTTN (aka cheap 99cent VDSL Re-Verse) will be a lot more expensive to maintain if and ever they are upgraded to FTTP, and have more aspects that can go kooka-dooka. (i.e. power, active equipment, waterproofing, more expensive repairs after calamities, etc...) As to the BPON installs, I pray that they offer something more than 6 Mbit/sec over the new fiber. The least they can do is match existing cableco offers. Also, to add insult to injury, the greenfield developments don't get DHCP, but are instead routed over the existing old and crappy DSL backbone. Sad........
currently uverse vdsl and uverse fttp have 10/1.5 for the max tier. Legacy fttp is still on pppoe and atm, but uverse fttp is on dhcp.
