Cruz1,
Perhaps that's the best speed YOU can get because of distance limitations or because it's not ready on your VRAD yet, but MOST UVerse customers can now get 24/3 Mbps internet speeds. I'm sure at least 65% of their UVerse customers can now get those (24/3) speeds, with a higher percentage to come over time.
The much laughed at pair-bonding should actually be a reality within the next year or sooner, probably, which would vastly expand UVerse speed options to those who currently can't be provisioned at a sufficient rate for the higher speed Internet tiers they offer. A 3 Mbps upload speed is still fairly decent by today's standards (in the U.S., on average), and as much as most people need and are willing to pay for.
Everyone can think what they want about UVerse (and VDSL2 in general), but I at least want to make sure it's represented fairly. If at&t wanted to, they could provision MUCH higher speeds for most customers at or below the 1500 feet mark (from the VRAD), but they presently want to keep things simpler and more standardized across the board I guess. |
