Canonsburg, PA | Fiber to the Home "Pair bonding requires a second copper pair at each house, two DSLAM ports assigned to each customer, and a special residential gateway outside the house that can terminate two pairs."
Doesn't sound cheap so when will AT&T realize they should just go to FTTH. |

Palm Desert, CA | I think FTTH is not in the near future for AT&T, because of their DSLAM design utilizing the existing Copper. So for the Present, AT&T can only roll out U-Verse as fast as possible. They have already max'ed out their Bandwidth, but don't count on Pair Bonding, AT&T will only use it under special circumstances and it will cost more. |

Sufficient copper to the home exists in most places that UVerse is being offered. The fiber isn't there, hence the higher deployment cost that VZ is paying versus T. |
