Re: New speeds Rogers cable - Teksavvy watch out

said by ObviousGuy :

Really? You don't know why Canada lags behind those countries (and Europe is fairly broad - some countries (e.g. nordic) have great internet speeds, but others are atrocious)? Here's a hint: geography and population density (not to mention lack of competition).

Population density in the cities is high enough.. I mean hell.. If they were worried about that, they could always just decide to string up condos & apartment buildings first.. Instead they're treating it like an experiment (as if FTTH isn't going to be wide-spread), and only installing FTTH in new neighbourhoods being constructed in the outskirts of Toronto.

You'd think they'd even do FTTH in the richer areas of Toronto (Bridle Path, etc), but nada.

Rogers will be rolling out FTTH to be able to compete with Bell with their higher speed tiers. They don't have a choice. They're prototyping how they are going to roll out the FTTH service. What they've done in some neighbourhoods now using RFoG is not how they'll be rolling out FTTH elsewhere.
