Re: Next Gen my a$$ cable has about 5Gbit bandwidth for a node and when they do channel bonding for D3.0 they can easily get 75-120Mbits tiers but they have to moniter the bandwidth distribution so no slow downs occur and cables HD is on dedicated bandwidth frequencies separate from H.S.I. Cable can splice in a node so subscribers dont have slowdowns and At&t has to build a brand new VRAD which takes days and a cable node can be done in a single day at the max. Cable has to also moniter nodes when they go SDV so there is no please try again later messages. |

 ·AT&T U-Verse
1 edit | In the next several years, I can see ATT slowly upgrading FTTH. By setting up u-verse this way, ATT can get there subscriber rates up and move slowly to FTTH. Why are people bashing ATT? I am on the 32/5 profile. For Larger houses, U-Verse is low on bandwidth, but for me its perfect, and functions better then TWC in my area. ATT is laying a good foundation by using the old copper, but they need to move to fiber all the way soon. |

Yes those VRADS take days or even months to fully test and go operational, but guess what? They each have 1 to several 10GigE Fiber runs which are always up and capable. With redundant battery backups in them, expect next to none downtime, unlike Cable nodes.

Houston, TX | During the Hurricane in Houston last year ATT drove around for days installing generators to all of their VRADs.
While i was lucky enough to not lose power, i was even luckier to find out that my internet and TV were still up and running.
I have nothing, but good things to say about U-Verse. |
