Re: [FiOS] Frontier FiOS customers falling further and further b LMAO, you have a paypal account? You want to BET Frontier does not migrate everyone off BPON? If they did make such a ludicrous choice, you should start sending out your resume to other companies.
Replacing not only ALL customers ONT's but CO PON cards as well. Then you have situations where ONT's are located within someones home, and you have to inconvenience the customer as well. Absurd.
BPON can handle 50Mbps per sub, possibly more, yet Frontier will force migrate everyone to GPON when like 90% of their overall footprint is still copper? |

said by wasvznowftr:See, chawk and I both work for Frontier in the Everett, WA Northwest HQ where the vast majority of Frontier's FiOS customers are served (Washington and Oregon) and thought we were being helpful by dropping some inside info.
But clearly you have more information than we do. I'll keep an eye on this and other threads to learn more from the users here. That way the next time I get a company email or have some director tell my department in a meeting what the future plans are , I'll know they're just full of it. Italian sure does have a way with words.
Your managers may be giving you accurate information, and they probably are. Personally, I have no reason to suspect that your managers are lying to you. The question still remains: Why would Frontier swap all currently-deployed BPON equipment for GPON when they are both 1) still installing new BPON equipment in customer environments and 2) there would be no benefit to doing so based on the current service offering?
I sincerely, fervently hope that Frontier actually is going to convert the entire network to GPON. I really, really want you to be right. Why? We might get 300/65.  |

If Italian926 gets your sense of humor, this is going to become great reading material. I am also thrilled to hear that my new Tivo with Lifetime Service will no longer function with U verse and I will have to suck it up and go back to Comcast - for all my trliple play services. |

And now that we've looped all the way back to the status quo, what's next for this thread?

Is most of Frontier's FiOS really BPON? I'm on GPON, and would assume everyone else coming out of Everett is too. Maybe just the East Side is BPON? |

Welcome to rural America where faux telco pretends to serves the vast majority of small towns from coast to coast. It is the same problem regardless of who is blowing the smoke or where you live.
You have 35/35 and you are not happy? I will trade you every day for my 10/.512 and kiss your hand for your generosity..

You can have GPON and BPON out of the same hub, so you may have GPON, but your next-door neighbor could be on BPON. |

You're entirely free to move to a FiOS (most of which are not rural). Otherwise, I'm not sure why you're posting a thread that has nothing to do with you...

Same here. I'm quite familiar with the software U-Verse uses for their TV-over-IP setup. It can be awesome, but AT&T has compressed the video streams so much as to be unwatchable for fast-moving content like sports if there is more than one HD stream going at a residence. I must be the last person on the planet who likes linear video--especially how FiOS does it, whether Frontier or Verizon--its quality and relatively simplicity. |

| The main thing driving me crazy is you see all the new functionalities occurring with Verizon Fios such as the xbox 360 integration and ios app with Frontier you can't do any of those. It's frustrating knowing the fiber has such capabilities and it just sits there stagnant. |

If they sent me an ad saying "hey, we've added HBO GO, enabled the Xbox streaming application, and might have even licensed the FiOS live TV app from Verizon, but it'll cost you a three year contract and $15 more per month," I'd sign up for HBO (which I don't currently get due to no HBO GO) and all they ask right now. |

You are absolutely correct linicx. It makes no difference where you live Frontier is getting almost as good at telling tall tails as Mark Twain. Faux is a very good discriptor. |

My grandmother has Uverse over fiber to the house. I saw the orange fiber lines being installed. Fiber is up and down every telephone pole in her neighborhood. Why it's not underground is beyond me. |

Got a Frontier Business FiOS offer in the mail that talked about FiOS download speeds up to 50Mbps. Anyone know what the upload speed is on that? On their normal business website it says up to 40Mbps.
»frontier.com/rightprice doesn't list any more details than are on the 1/3 page flyer. |

said by ITALIAN926:Wow, Uverse uses FTTP? Didnt know that. Exactly what percentage of Uverse subscribers are FTTP? .01% ?
Parts of Michigan (maybe other Midwest states which were "formally" (a play on "intensive" purposes*) Ameritech), parts of Teaxas, which was formerly Southwestern Bell Telephone, and parts of California, which was formerly The Pacific Telesis Group. And closer to 1% than 0.01%.
»Bad news! Notice the wording!
In which the OP states it is at least 5% of AT&T customers served by FTTP.
»Is Paxio real? Do they really offer service in San Jose?
Same poster is trying to identify where, in Santa Clara County he can get better FTTP service from another provider.
*"formerly" and "intents and purposes".
