kudos:2 | Correction The 10 Gbps is shared among everyone on the node. So realistically Verizon will be able to push gigabit down, 250 Mbit up service over the upcoming network. just clarifying  |

BTW, at this point it is only a marketing ploy, but if it is rolled out, and I don't see why something like it won't, I wonder what cable's response will be??

Seriously, 8x4 channel bonded DOCSIS 3.0 will be out soonish, but that's at most 304/120...with one person spread across all eight channels.
So all Verizon has to do is push out a 350 Mbps down, 150 Mbps up tier and cable has to bring fiber all the way to the home to compete.
Heck, if Verizon came out with 150/30 right now cable couldn't compete, since even the highest-end deployments in teh US are one channel up, four channels down DOCSIS 3. |

| Shared by how many people??
200+ per node??
I'll take sharing the fiber bandwidth with 30 people please...

Meh, my computers can do about 100 Mbit without any problems. If I tuned everything I could probably get up to 200 Mbit. I'd be perfectly happy with a 100 Mbit symmetric connection, to tell you the truth. Heck, 30/30 would be lovely. Just don't charge me through the nose for it and it's all great. |

No one computer can yet in the home, however since more and more crap is becoming a connected device. i can see how the demand for bandwidth will grow sharply. more importantly the demand for sustained bandwidth vs bursting.

Well 100Mbit is only about 9.5MB/s(reality) and GigE is about 95MB/s. There are a lot of (non raid) hard drives out there that are at 100MB/s of throughput. So if one splits 10Gb/s 64 times, I would suspect that there are a lot of computers out there that can handle this speed. |

It makes sense, though. They already have fiber to the neighborhood, so replacing the last few hundred feet of coax with new fiber isn't as huge an undertaking as FIOS, which had to lay down an entire fiber footprint from scratch. |

Can RFOG later be used as GPON?
I keep trying to imagine what the limits are of a local MSO that uses RFOG with fiber drops. But when I see their aerials I think of everyone connected to a single fiber strand and something like fios, where everyone has their own individual piece of fiber back to those cabinets where they all connect to must have more future capacity? Then again I have no idea if those fiber aerials have a strand for each home, or just one large one for all?

Depending on how GPON is set up, it can be as fiber-dense as active optical or might just use one fiber per node, with splitters running off the main drag like coax. In answer to your GPON/RFoG question, I think they can actually coexist on the same strand. |

said by Radio Active: It's all fluff, smoke and mirrors. How many consumers' computers can actually utilize/process that kind of bandwidth? NONE...yet! But imagine a sigle fiber able to handle a medium business location, or a apt. complex/hotel or a personal server farm (don't forget the cost of the service, plus the power requirements/bill)
By the time this reaches end user deployment, there will be demand (one drives the other) |

Personally, as a past Comcast abuse victim who's utter disdain for the company has grown exponentially with their purchase of NBC/Universal...
I'd love for Verizon to release 10Gbps now just for the heck of it and put that company out of business once for all. Instead of engaging in this tedious game of one-up-manship.
Just go nuclear on them man and finish the cable turds off already! |

Just go nuclear on them man and finish the cable turds off already! While I'm no big fan of "Big Business", the cable companies have been running roughshod over their respective customers for far too long now, and need a quick dose of reality.
Whomever at Verizon that decided to run fiber to our houses, has done what I have said needed to be done ten years ago.
With that fiber at our homes, they have the potential to run an unlimited amount of "product" to our homes for little or no additional cost, a genius move if you ask me. Cable companies on the other-hand, pulled up short by not doing the same when they were running fiber, and they WILL pay for it if they continue to refuse to complete the job, so to speak...
