| FTTH now on 24/3? I called to cancel U-Verse because Time Warner offers Docsis 3.0 speeds for far cheaper in the Austin area. Uverse told me that select FTTH customers can now get 24/3 instead of the previous cap of 18/1.5. They just have to send a "special" technican to upgrade my equipment. I am letting them come and try because I don't believe it.
They will do this tomorrow afternoon.
My guess is AT&T has no idea what they are doing and my chances of being on 24/3 are slim to none. Still a joke compared to Docsis speeds, but why not see what happens? |

If only BPON is available, then 18/1.5 is the tops |

| I have a friend who has Uverse FTTP and i just checked online and found out that he is able to get 24 mbits too. So it looks like AT&T is finally giving some love to FTTP customers.
I guess that Constantine guys who ranted and raved about it for a long time on this forum can check to see if he can finally get 24 mbits. |

I haven't had Uverse in a while and never had Uverse FTTH, but the best they can do with FTTH is 24Mb? Seriously?! Verizon can do up 300Mb. Google can do 1Gb. Even cable can do better than AT&T, with Comcast and Optimum Online offering 101Mb.
AT&T, what you are offering is pathetic. |

I totally agree with this statement. Time Warner Docsis 3.0 can give me 50/5 in Austin and they told me that they would be up to 75/20 "very soon".
AT&T says they will have 75/10 by the end of the year (aka "sometime this century"). |

WOW! look at the ping time, definitely not consistent with FTTH as it should be much lower. |

That's just pathetic. VZ seems to have no problems running 35/35 and 50/20 over BPON.

WOW! look at the ping time, definitely not consistent with FTTH as it should be much lower. I'm in San Antonio and when I had Uverse FTTN I would get ping time of about 46 ms for speedtests. Now I have TWC and get about 26 ms.
So for some reason in San Antonio there just seem to be higher ping times so 16 ms for Uverse FTTP IMO is pretty good. |

Bravedog can you look on UVRealtime and see what profile you are setup with now.
I am curious if it is 32/5 profile or they are doing some different and new profile for FTTP users that have the 24 mbit internet package. |

Sure about that... The Time Warner speed tier I have seen launched in a few select areas is 75/5. [In Dallas they are doing 75/5 as indicated over in the Time Warner forum] |

Yeah but that is because of the interleaved path in VDSL2. FTTH/FTTP is a whole different beast and should be much lower. I remember asking this question some years ago to a guy with FTTH and his response was something around 1 or 2 ms. |

Edit: I found one post from ConstantineM 
»[FTTH] 4ms+ ping to anywhere outside of the AT&T border
'complaining' about his FTTH 4 ms latency |

| I know that FTTN uses interleave path which adds a lot more latency than fast path and especially FTTP.
What i was trying to say is in San Antonio with TWC where they mostly use fiber until the last length I get 26 ms. My friend who lives just down the road and has FTTP doesn't even get 26 ms.
So there much be something about the backbone in our city that seems to add a lot of latency. |

Either way, the issue is not the fiber, but the equipment that AT&T has chosen to use in their fiber installations.
With different equipment they could offer MUCH higher speeds.

I can get pings as low as 10-11ms when I send to a Dallas server. I am also running through a network switch, and I don't know how much that slows me down.
I don't know what profile I am on since UV Realtime doesn't tell you on FTTP (unless someone can tell me how to get that information). |
