Re: Yes, this was a total con said by wifi4milez:Uverse is nothing more than DSL, so it shouldnt apply there. FIOS is not using the telephone infrastructure at all, so it shouldnt apply to them either. Are you sure? I don't mean going over the phone wires, I mean using the conduits, pedastals, etc.
U-Verse is not purely DSL. Some U-Verse deployments are IPTV over fiber (I would guess only in locations where AT&T has a statewide franchise agreement, as opposed to other areas where AT&T is deploying with on franchise agreement at all).

FIOS is not using the telephone infrastructure at all, so it shouldnt apply to them either. Are you sure? I don't mean going over the phone wires, I mean using the conduits, pedastals, etc. It depends. In most cases they (and all other providers) use the same public ROW to access the end users.

While U-Verse isnt all DSL, its probably upwards of 95% copper based. The very few instances they did deploy fiber were not done due to any statewide franchise, rather they did it for use in greenfield locations. Keep in mind Qwest also has a few thousand customers (out of what is likely millions) fed by fiber, however they also use DSL technology.
