| Last I checked VDSL gives ADSL-like speeds over longer distances. Now pair bonding may mean that some areas will get VDSL-class speeds that don't now, but I'm not holding my breath.
For people in rural areas that can't get DSL as it stands, things probably won't change for you.
U_11 does sound interesting though. 32/5 might allow for less pathetic upload speeds on the top end.
As for RF video and HD channels, 860 MHz is the space on the network for Verizon FiOS TV. That's over 140 discrete channels, all of which may be watched simultaneously without dipping into the 2.488/1.244 internet pipe.
Also, PON means there's no need for powered equipment at a neighborhood level, lowering costs and improving reliability. Just sayin'
Lastly, U-Verse packages in FTTH areas are idebtical to those in copper ones. 18/1.5 is the highest internet tier... |
