Re: Sounds like vaporware They have deployed some FTTP in some new housing developments. They will probably exacerbate the digital divide by providing 80 mbps service to those few FTTP customers while leaving most of their DSL footprint in the dark...

| Oddly, all those FTTP customers are capped at FTTN speeds to provide a "consistent user experience." |

| very true. There is one just over the Ohio Michigan border (on the MI side) they're capped at what the DSL service offers. ATT took the entire city and rebuilt it FTTP as a test show when it was still SBC. There are a few other cities they rebuilt in WI and maybe one more in Michigan. but they won't say where unless you sign up for service or know people that live there.

00000 | One would think AT&T would like to at least use those sites as the test beds they are. Seems like a wasted opportunity by limiting the speeds. |

| but like Karl said they do that only to make things "uniform" across their foot print. |

If that test is anything like their 3G network, I bet for 80mbs it's provisioned for like 1gbps. |

oh i agree with you 100%. Why did SBC send the money out to start off with when not even barely using it. Besides; being able to MAKE everyone of your customers move from 3rd party DSL providers and Voice Providers to your network due to not being required to share the new network with any CLEC or ISP. And then make T1s 3x+ what they used to be since now you "have" to build out that new copper line that is no longer there. Since they won't deploy that over their Fiber.
