| 45 MB internet service Anyone have details about a new 45mb internet using a 55 mb bonded profile? |
|
| I have never heard of this new profile. Where did you hear about this? |

lol, this is the first I've heard of this one. If it is true, they'll surpass the local cableco's 40/5 offering. |

If it were true why would it be for bonded only? I have a max rate higher than that on a single pair. If they ever did offer this I would hate to see the price. |

Not sure why you are criticizing something that is just rumor or speculations with no facts, details or an announcement from AT&T. |

I am speculating, not criticizing, and since it is already $65/month for 24/3 I could only imagine what they would charge for a higher tier. I think they charge too much in the first place but they are still cheaper than comcast which is my only other option here (plus comcast in not very good in my area either). |

That's the thing though. Most of the current pair-bonded setups struggle to get 2Mbps up (and that's with both pairs) let alone 5Mbps that is required for the 24/3 or whatever would be required for this imaginary new Internet speed.
40Mbps still wouldn't beat Charter around here (they have 60/5.) However I'd prefer AT&T as it is usually more stable and no caps (yet.) If they ever implement the caps, especially if it's 250GB, I'll just go with Charter's 60/5 with a 500GB cap. At least they don't charge overages either. |

| It's true, 45MB internet is coming. Needs to use a bonded pair in order to get a high enough profile to allow those speeds. Won't be available to everyone since you'll need 2 very good lines in order to get those speeds.
Currently bonded pair is used to give service to customers that are just outside the normal uverse service area. |

That makes sense. If pair bonding is used on customers who currently do not need pair bonding, it would increase both their download and upload bandwidth allowing for a higher line profile.
Will this only affect U-verse internet service offerings and not TV offerings? |

Sounds great.
Hit your monthly 250 GB bandwidth cap in just 12 hours instead of 24!  |

Sorry to disappoint you, but no U-verse internet caps are being enforced. |

It could allow for more TV streams, though I doubt they would bump the bitrate. That may be the primary reason for the tier.
They need to do something will all that copper nobody is using anymore.
At any rate, it would probably be years given that this is AT&T. |

Yes, I pay about $500 month combined bills to AT&T. If they start pulling things like U-verse caps I'm going to take a serious look at that spending. |

This is not the first time I heard of this....
In this topic: »AT&T U-verse FTTP speeds, why do they limit fibre to 18/1.5?
A guy called "um" is hinting that there might be a 55 profile in the works.
Whether it is all true? Who knows.... where did you hear this?

| What they need to do is offer the HSI only customers a way to not have interleave profile so our ping does not have to suck.
I get like 0-12 correct blocks a day unless bad lightning and yet my ping to most things is 50-90ms... AT&T DNS server a lone has a 40ms ping delay for me... Thats sad. Every other provider can have a ms in the teens to at least they own DNS...
They should only require interleave for tv customers... bahh.. more speed is useless if in games and browsing your biggest delay is the latency part. For downloads its great though, nice fast speeds. |

| Whether it is true or not AT&T has to do something to compete in the future. We have all discussed and complained how they need to deploy FTTH, etc., etc., but if they start pair-bonding to increase max rates it looks like AT&T is going to continue to squeeze every last usage out of their last mile copper. |
