 | Real data appreciated Karl U-Verse was originally designed for 25 meg down, which would be 15 meg for 2 HD 2 SD and ten for data. Several senior at AT&T until recently asked question like "why does anyone need more than 3 megabits." A new team at the top understands more, and there are several moves underway for modest bandwidth increases, although nothing like FIOS is in the budget as far as they are telling Wall Street. I've had my disputes with some of them, but they are proving extremely competent at what they do. Which isn't necessarily a good thing for us, because some of what they say they do are things about how to get the most dollars from the customer while keeping the "headline price" much lower.
De La Vega, AT&T #2, specifically said they would sell the full 25 meg to people who didn't want their TV from AT&T, but that's apparently in the future. db |
 | I'm also hoping that they will increase the 25 megabit profile for those who are synching at a higher native rate, and that they will intro VDSL2 sooner rather than later, which will also increase rates, but more importantly connection distances. |
