That's not necessarily an indication of a bandwidth crunch. It is good planning. It appears that Verizon is putting bandwidth in place to deal with an all IP future where telephone, SDTV and HDTV all ride the same network as traditional data. Now that Verizon has gotten into the content business with FiosTV, they have to contend with distribution of live and on-demand video content from national super-headends.
Capacity problems, no. Future proofing, yes.
Providers like Verizon aren't fly by night operations where they let circuits run at near capacity.
Well stated. My thoughts exactly, but I no longer bother with the technical corrections of TK's posts. Its a full time job.
