I'm just a few houses away from being able to get Uverse, and based on the way my neighborhood is laid out it's not likely AT&T will install a closer VRAD anytime in the near future.
Do you think this news may also push out pair bonding? |

| I think they're wasting their time. They should have gone with FTTH. I have watched them prep my neighborhood for U-Verse. The installation of the VRAD is the easiest thing involved with U-Verse. They have had to dig, inspect and reconfigure every little box throughout the neighborhood. In the process they screwed up my telephone service. They could have strung fiber in 1/5 of the effort involved with U-Verse. Then they will have to do it all over again in 5 years since between SDV and DOCSIS 3.0, cable has them beat. |

| If a bnad-aid is 90% of the cost of a full repair, and you'reAT&T, you take the band-aid, then slap yourself in the head when DOCSIS 3 gets 20% more downstream speed and 200% more upstream speed for the same price.
Why AT&T is deploying VDSL is beyond me. The only place that should be deployed is last-hundred-feet MDU installs, and even then Corning now has bendable fiber to get around that.
Meh! |

Who knows... maybe hell froze over and they are using this period as a marketing buffer to start bringing the fiber to the home.
Maybe nine months or a year from now they just quietly start burying fiber realizing their last mile joke was a joke.
Yeah... it could happen
