Re: "AT&T U-Verse isn't technically fiber optic broadband." Why not? Becuase you deem the fiber running to the node to be unimportant, while the copper running to the house trumps all? No, because fiber to the node is VDSL2 and fiber to the node.They said it is fiber optic "based." UVerse has fiber optics. Everybody has fiber optics. By that logic, everybody's service is "fiber optic based."
There is a difference between FTTH and FTTN. For Verizon and AT&T, it's a difference of about 17-18 billion dollars spent. |
| The way I see it is that if the service runs as it is advertised it is doing its job and who cares about what its running off... Now with that said I have U-VERSE and it is sucking right now... I have the 2wire router and it loves to shut down when the treadmill is turned on or even when it doesn't want to play anymore.. I have ran tracert and found that I have had consistent inconsistencies with particular Ips (time outs)and one that is consistent with 100% packet loses 100% of the time and ATT wont do anything about it. Now that is bad customer service. They keep blaming it on my computer and I have done everything that they wanted me to do from redoing my o/s to clear cache out of IE every time I call in.. Im ready to go to comcast for my internet, the next and only option here in Grand Rapids, MI. The problem with that is that comcast is having problems as well. The bottom line is that they need to get there stuff together.. |
