Re: where else?
I'd say SoCal since they are surrounded by AT&T & Verizon... |

| Surrounded isn't enough. If you have FIOS next door, it doesn't affect you, if you have muni broadband next door, it doesn't affect you. Coterminous is the right word. Uverse isn't competitive with DOCSIS 2 as it is (compare Uverse to Cablevision's speed tiers). I don't know how rural/ex-rural VZ Socal area is, and how much population is has, and how much TWC serves it. Uverse areas would be one of the last to get DOCSIS 3. |

Most of it is not rural, and wouldn't having fios in the neighborhood be exactly the areas where they would implement first...?

said by aztecnology :I'd say SoCal since they are surrounded by AT&T & Verizon... I wouldn't think so, they just "upgraded" their network last year to support speeds above 5/364. I got bumped up to ~7/1, but 4 months later it went back to 5/364. I called in and was pretty much told by any supervisor I could get a hold of "what network upgrades?". |
