| Re: Bonding. said by MarkyD  :said by MyDogHsFleas :AT&T has plenty of headroom to increase Internet connection speeds well above their current 10/1.5 top offering, without resorting to pair bonding. I know this is right...I was on U-Verse FTTP, and still could not get anything higher than 6mbps at the time (before 10mbps tier came out.) Pretty pathetic. AT&T is doing this purposefully, and are actually being rather successful. They are lining themselves up vs. cable and are doing just enough to compete for the mass market, and not trying to chase small markets (i.e. those who want "super-fast" Internet connections). They see no need to spend money or energy creating new offerings to serve a small market (like us who would actually consume such a thing). As a result they are installing U-verse just as fast as they can, and expanding like crazy (they seem to announce a new city rollout once or twice a month). This is the same reason they did not opt to do a full FTTH buildout but stopped at the node (except for new developments where they are doing greenfield installs of FTTH). |
