Re: Hope it does well said by 25139889:True but you can bet that ATT will slow down the build if they own the poles or can talk the local power company into slowing them down.
Sonic's biggest obstacle would more likely be the Board of Supervisors and their aesthetics nazis than would AT&T or a power company. NIMBY is the rallying cry of neighborhood activists in SF. |

Washington, DC | Real high speed internet would increase property value though. AT&T U-verse isn't anything that would draw an upper income earner, I can understand why the cabinets aren't worth it. |

| people barely have money to pay for food let alone worrying about property values going up due to HSI.  |

Which people are you talking about? Not the people who live in that part of SF, that's for sure. |

SF isn't exactly a minimum wage city to live in due to high cost of living there.
surprising fios isn't there.

I'd move if I only had u-verse to choose from. FIOS absolutely destroys it and San Fran does miss out. |

AT&T has the monopoly there, with their useless crap-verse.
If only the tech capital of the world knew what they were missing out on.
Verizon should have rolled out a new network in the San Jose area. |

Jeez, you're spoiled aren't you. All we have is Comcast cable. Good enough, but not great. And it's 1/3 the speed of U-Verse. |

Comcast only 1/3 as fast as u-verse? On what planet? When did you come here to earth?
You've got some catching up to do.

Where did you come up with 8 mbps as top Comcast speed?
Comcast also offers 30 mbps, 50 mbps and 105 mbps speeds. U-Verse can't go that fast even if you were willing to pay for it.
P.S.>> And I have the regular Comcast tier and I get 15 mbps BEFORE powerboost speeds up to about 27 mbps.

Comcast has up to 105mbps available in the City. Maybe you choose to buy some cheap slow package but that does not mean U-verse is faster than Pachell. I am in NO WAY a fan of either company... but Comcast has MUCH faster speeds available over coax with DOCIS3.
Does ATT have a 105mbps package available for residential?
OK, end of that debate.

First of all, those lower packages are showing the burst speeds, not the sustained speeds.
In our area, the top sustained speed for Comcast is 8mbps, U-Verse is 24mbps. Our area has U-Verse, just not in my neighborhood.
I think Comcast is just about on the brink of upgrading to allow the faster packages. When they come, we'll get upgraded from 8mbps to 16mbps, but I tried it the other day, and we're not at 16 yet. I can't figure out what their packages are from their website, they are so confusing, I think you need a PhD in Comcast to figure them out.
I think our Powerboost goes to around 25/2.5, our equipment is limited to a theoretical maximum of 38/30...
Supposedly, U-Verse is going to 50mbps for pair-bonded setups. At least there is a little bit of competition... |
