Re: So What?
said by Dogfather  :For data services there is nothing dying about DSL. Most businesses are also able to invest their own connectivity outside of DSL. As for it being dying, it is when you compare it to other types of connectivity, especially fiber.
For example, there is an actual limit to the amount of bandwidth you can get out of DSL, however, with fiber, there is no limit. It is also easier for Verizon to upgrade fiber to handle faster speeds later on. All it takes is simply changing out the equipment on both sides of the line.

2 edits | Limitess bandwidth is irrelevant unless you have a provider willing to deploy services over it.
Yeah, G-PON can do 400Mb so where is Verizon with 400Mb HSI service? In my neck of the woods they max at 30Mb for $140/mo. Cable? No competition to DSL given they're having to cap and traffic shape to deliver those slightly higher advertised speeds.
And with most FiOS subs buying 5Mb plans, current DSL and especially newer DSL technologies are anything but dying.
In my area Verizon does 7.1Mb DSL for under $50. I can't get that speed of dedicated service from TWC, Cox or Comcast. While offering slightly faster speeds, ALL have caps, traffic shape or both. |

1 edit | Who is discouraging Verizon from deploying 100Mb service over FiOS? (other than Brian Roberts)
Verizon can walk and chew gum. They can improve DSL services while continuing their FiOS deployments. |

Valencia, CA | Exactly... they're not a little startup company.
Where they are unlikely to deploy FiOS in the near future, they should be maintaining their DSL/POTS service properly.
