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.
I think we will see fiber to the last amp (FTTLA) before we see FTTH. It has practically identical capabilites if the system is 1GHz. On my street, that could work out to 10 QAM channels (380 Mbps using DOCSIS) per house passed
