reply to fifty nine

Re: What's fiber exactly?

said by fifty nine:

Why is AT&T VDSL U-Verse called "fiber" when the last mile is VDSL?

If U-Verse can be called fiber, then so can cable company HFC networks.

To me, only FTTH or FTTB can be called a "fiber" service. The rest depend on copper for the last mile.
Yeah that is a real stretch there. I guess they put it as fiber as new developments are getting fiber FTTP but it really should not be classified that way IMHO.

Exactly. Hell even U-Verse fiber is limited to the same speeds that other U-Verse users have.
