AT&T Response?

With Comcast, Charter, and many other cable companies starting to deploy DOCSIS 3.0 speeds, how much longer can AT&T milk their copper? 50 & 60 Mpbs speeds are more than double AT&T's highest tier... Is it time for them to finally go FTTP? Yes, I saw their earnings report yesterday, but the longer they wait, the more they get passed up by superior technology. FTTP is going to take them years to deploy...

AT&T is already doing FTTP in some areas.

That is correct, but like Qwest (who also has limited FTTP deployments) they are still only offering their standard speed tiers so there is no additional benefit to the end user.

Yeah, they are pretty much only doing FTTP in greenfield deployments. Its not like they are overlaying copper with fiber in a substantial number of places. If they want to keep up, they better get the ball rolling on FTTP. But apparently I'm speaking to soon as AT&T is already announcing delays to current U-verse buildouts:

What a joke...
