| Re: Yet another reason SBC sucks With SBC you might be suprised at their internet connection. While this will change since the merger, since SBC didn't have any long distance lines most of their regions had individual internet connections to a Tier-1 like Sprint. The actual bandwidth wasn't a huge amount as it didn't have to be agregated.
Some cable companies are worse. For example in some markets Adelphia runs the community off of 2 T-1s.
Fiber deployments are more than just about providing fast internet speeds, which sitting on a 45Mbps pipe I can tell isn't that much faster than what you have now. They also eventually will allow for deployment of TV and other services and allow for a much greater revenue basis per customer.
