said by MysticGogeta  :I personally know this wont really suceed and best chance ill get at fibers is verzion (because this area is served by verizon) I am not saying you can take this to the bank either (since they have not even officially deployed yet), but for those of us who live in Houston and are served by SBC (most of us), this is the best shot we have at getting fiber in the near future. |

Frankly, I don't care if these guys only end up being a blip on twc or sbc's radar if they can deliver fiber, iptv and kick ars internet speeds to my home (assuming they can stay in business, I am an ex-voomer so I know all about that). |

You can read these articles here for more details.

They have had a beta going on in the cy-fair area since the oct-nov time frame (400 HOMES). They will be announcing initial deployment areas in December.
They are using phonoscope's fiber network »www.phonoscope.com
They will offer 1 Gbps total to each home (according to interviews). Total iptv solution.
They are sponsoring this months fiber to the house council meetings (dec 5-7). I am hoping for some service area announcements this week. »www.ftthcouncil.org/

said by CO_Chris :SBC should take note on how fiber really works VZ got it right the 1st time .. how many times SBC will it take to get it right? I say 3 or 4 ?? any takers? Fios has been out how long? They have not yet shown that they've made the right moves.
Try again a year or two from now...

Re: fision Internet/ tv / Dig phone
But in this perhaps verizon will buy the fibers (if they fail or sell out) and we will have fibers this might be a more positive step but im not sure how sbc will react |

Um so how do we know they got it right? They have a long way to go before they can reclaim their investment. Fision is taking over a bunch of dark fiber from lots of failed attempts to do the fiber build to the house long ago. We might like what Vz is doing but they better sell lots of IPTV and other services to make the investors happy.
I don't see venerable old TW breaking their hump to get fiber to my house either. This all comes at a price, lets see how many customers are ready to pony up so that the investments can be paid off. Now that we are talking prices what is Fision going to be charging?
Yeah I would love a fiber run to my house, just let me know how much it is going to cost. |
