The Lou | It's not just about speeds AT&T has IPTV. I wonder how that service will stack up against Vz's bundled tv option.

Verizon's product is way better, especially because it uses existing CATV standards. |

| That's what I mean. AT&T's service offers things that Vz's service doesn't. So from a product perspective, does AT&T's TV product offer more attractive features over Vz's?

| I really don't care about features. I want the cable/phone/fiber company to give me a pipe to the internet and a slew of cable channels. |

Honestly, no. Verizon doesn't do IPTV because they don't have to. AT&T uses IPTV because they are still limited by bandwidth across VDSL. IPTV or RF Overlay is just the transport, not the payload. Either can have very high quality or look like crap. Either can offer more channels then you can every watch. With IPTV, VOD is essentially just another channel to watch. With FiOS TV, it gets streamed over IP so there is a little extra in the implementation, but from the user there is no difference really. If anything, UVerses's IPTV is the lesser service as it's bandwidth constrained and can only stream several channels simultaneously. |
