'Lawn Fridges' Attack UK Lawns > Give Me

Give Me

Here's the thing: you can get DOCSIS 3 with 100/15 WITHOUT a lawn fridge.

Or fiber at 100/100...

If the lawn fridge is just for AT&T service (24/3 max) then I'll take the $1500, but speed-wise that's nothing impressive.

sorry but you will not get insane speed. maybe 22mbps if you are lucky

These things make noise, generate heat and have fans blowing to kick said heat out.

here at most we get a 10" by 12" box for cable, and it is a solid state one. meaning nobody has to come and play with it ever and no noise etc.

the vrads and other boxes are offsite by the main road in a big hive and there is an att truck working there 20 hours a day. how would you like to have 1 parked in your driveway daily?

but hey, go take your 1500$

I did think before I posted. If you go down my review list you'll note that I've never had the luxury of using FTTH or VDSL. That said, there are a couple of telco boxes near the end of my block...right beside a parking lot...one of which might house cable equipment. My theory stems from the AT&T branding on the box, which could either be due to my school formerly getting connectivity from AT&T (the box is effectively on-campus) or (more likely IMO) it's a node (or whatever you want to call it) for Comcast, fka AT&T Broadband.

Let me backtrack for a minute though: is U-Verse in any area that has crappy cable service? Time Warner Cable 15/2 doesn't count unless it is mercilessly oversold. Especially since 30/5 and 50/5 will be available soon...

It would depend very much on the property I had at the time Thing is, I would probably never be in that situation. The reason? I don't live in an AT&T area, and never intend to do so. I'm not suer how big Qwest's VRADs are but if they're fridge-sized it would be hard to place one in front of my apartment. Possible, yes, but I don't think there would be enough space. Besides, there's a nice open ROW a block down that's much more easily accessible Last but not least, I live (not go to school) in a town that's served by Verizon, and won't get sold to AT&T...ever (maybe Windstream though). A CLEC is overbuilding fiber because Verizon won't, so even if the telco did decide to do VDSL they'd be eclipsed speed-wise before placing the first VRAD.
