The GPON system offers 1.2 Gbit/sec downstream and 622 Mbit/sec upstream bandwidth for the delivery of advanced voice services, symmetrical high-speed data service, and Internet Protocol TV (IPTV). The system is fully compliant with ITU FSAN standards." Bolding mine. The deployment is going pretty briskly in Lavaca, too. See lots of ONTs (that is what Verizon calls the boxes, not sure if they are the same thing in Lavaca) going on the sides of houses all over town with orange conduit leading to them.
Not sure about the symmetrical internet service, though. A while back, I talked to a Pinnacle tech and he said that the speeds would be 5 mb down/1 mb up...but that was a while back. May have changed their specs by now. Depends on how much the Gibsons (phone company owners) want to spend on their backhaul.  |
