Re: Will LTE be pitched for fixed wireless to the home? said by iansltx:True. 5-12/2-5 Mbps could probably be sold for $50 by Verizon, plus VoIP of some sort (maybe another $40 for unlimited local and long distance). Wouldn't be FiOS, but would beat DSL more often than not on speed and the price is about what people will pay for service in those areas. Hell, that would beat Road Runner in most areas too. |

kudos:2 | True, though it looks like TWC is slooowly rolling out 15/2 as their highest tier across all markets. Or 15/1 anyway. |

kudos:2 | Hopefully NorthState will start doing pair bonding and offer something better than 768k up, and CenLink will do 25/2 pair-bonded... |

I have 15/2 from NorthState over fiber (grandfatherd in tier and could have ordered 30/5), but it will take Time Warner to up their speeds before NS will offer anything higher. They don't need pair-bonding to offer more than 768Kbps up, they are doing that now because at twice the speed of their competition, they can. |

kudos:2 | Right, saw that. Sad to see a company actually DOWNGRADE their offerings due to lack of competition (and interest?) |

The official line is they didn't want to offer disparate packages to fiber customers and to ADSL2+ customers who subscribed to IPTV. Their ADSL2+ circuits didn't support more than 768Kbps once you throw IPTV into the mix. I was also told by a technician they aren't delivering IPTV over copper at all, so who really knows? |
