Re: Did you forget something? So how does wiring NYC for speeds comparable to SK and other have anything to do with speeds in Podunk, Kansas? There's nothing that says they have to offer the same speeds in every location. Hell, they're doing that now. |

| How is that different from now where they deploy piecemeal per city anyways?
Do you see AT&T covering all of USA's square inch? Even Verizon? No, they cover only where people live and where the density justifies the coverage.
Stop being such an industry apologist. |

Stop being a whiner. |

Canonsburg, PA | said by Z80A:Big difference because they're still national plans. Verizon FiOS is not a national or even Verizon wide plan. AT&T U-Verse is not a national or even an AT&T wide plan. Don't even think about cable companies having the same speeds and prices everywhere. Lack of effective competition is the reason why U. S. broadband isn't better. |

There's about two to three templates Verizon follows, but which template they choose from for each area has a lot to do with competition, and the templates are far different from each other.
Who cares what AT&T does with U-Verse -- that whole product line is a low class tier anyway. It doesn't really count. It's slower than anything else. |

And 18-24Mb U-Verse is slow compared to what exactly? They are also getting ready to deploy bonded service. |
