said by fifty nine:said by WA Resident :said by fifty nine:The irony of this is that the only provider delivering 100Mbps speeds to the home is not a FTTH provider. It is a cable company.
Wanna bet?..........100/100MB residential fiber has been available here in WA state for years now!
These fiber internet providers also offer phone and tv service. So no, it's not just verizon or cable companies offering such services.
OK so you'll find it in some small pockets here and there. No big deal.
Most people on FTTH are seeing much less. Verizon doesn't even have a 100Mbps planned deployment to home users yet.
Right now, FTTH is cutting edge and it remains to be seen whether it will be mainstream or not.
If cable companies need to upgrade to FTTH, it is not that difficult for them since most of the way has already been covered by fiber.
Yea, cable companies in rural areas like this one really have it that easy when they can't even provide that much tv let alone provide internet....meaning, there is no fiber at all.
