| Good...if... If you're not really interested in having TV from AT&T, at all, then this would be fine for people who want fast speeds; 18 meg down and 2 meg up is pretty good.
U-Verse is FTTN+VDSL to the home, right?
Why not go with VDSL2? It has a higher bandwidth potential and degrades way slower than VDSL (and at a certain distance just basically acts like ADSL2+).

ATT is waiting for 2wire to finish up the vdsl2 inid.... oh, ok; hopefully there will be plenty more bandwidth for you guys once 2Wire finishes their VDSL2 inid; of course, if AT&T is arbitrarily limiting it to a total of 25 megabits, well, then VDSL2 won't help much.
say, is there a successor to VDSL2?

U-verse is FTTN + VDSL last mile for existing neighborhoods. New neighborhoods are built out with FTTP and U-verse supports that too.
VDSL2 is coming. Word is that the VRADs are already VDSL2 capable and the 2wire gateway they use may be able to support it with a firmware upgrade.
Right now, people are running 2 HD streams + Internet on U-verse and still getting like 12-14 megabits on the Internet side. So it looks pretty reasonable, even without AT&T modifying their 25 megabit total profile. |
