Re: Verizon/AT&T FTTH competition - maybe not said by fAcEtIOUs:That is true where UVerse is using copper. But it wouldn't apply to those AT&T greenfield sites using FTTH as discussed in this news story. From the article and also quoted in your original message: quote:
AT&T forgoes VDSL/FTTN for some developments, where they run fiber to the home -- but they cap the bandwidth delivered back to the same speed of regular VDSL U-Verse (up to 18Mbps).
Emphasis added.
It's not real clear if they are only capping the internet data and allowing faster rates for IPTV, or if all data, regardless of purpose, is capped at 18mbits. If it's the former, you are right. If it's the latter, what I said still would apply until they remove that artificial restriction. |
