said by WhyMe420:Where AT&T competes and wins for me over the alternative (Charter) the lack of caps. Latency is still decent enough to not matter in my online gaming. 24 Mbps uncapped is far better than 100Mbps capped any day of the week. As long as AT&T is uncapped, and the competition is capped, I will stick with 24 Mbps forever even if I can get 1Gbps for $5 a month from Charter.
Well ... I'm sure charter will give you the option of more data. Id gladly take 250gb or 500gb/month @ 1gig speeds over 24mbit and never being able to watch tv, use the dvr, or even use the phone ... at least and expect low latency @ full speeds.
Now if ATT can offer 50mbit / 10-15mbit they would satisfy even those on the fence ... but apparently by the time they "might" be able to offer that in 2 years cable will be ready to offer eoc over cable or docis4 and will be in a prime position to do whatever is necessary to retain/attract even more business from ATT.
Whats really going on ... ATT has been and will continue to play catch up. What they will release in 2 years time hey actually need today. I guess they are at least 2 years behind cable then ... and seem to be gambling everything on this vectoring.
One question ..what if it doesn't work? There is a very strong possibility it wont. I seem to remember pair bonding would be the ticket ... NO. Why would this vectoring be any different? Bonding is an apparent EPIC FAIL ..otherwise they would be rolling that shit out as fast as people ask for it. I mean why wouldn't they... especially when it means the difference in attracting/retaining customers or them leaving for cable or FOIS ...or even wireless in some cases.
