said by deepblackmag  :I agree its not as reliable, however it IS cheap and already there. And thats what matters here. You really wanna know the cost analysis of it ? Verizon when the fiber is completely rolled out to a neighborhood can pull down the copper at its own discretion and scrap it for almost 2/3 the price of the fiber. Severely reducing the costs of running the fiber the rest of the way.
I find it amazing that they don't do this. When an area is lit with fiber give the people a free install of new service, pull all the copper and scrap it. And lower the peoples bills by $2 a month and consider it a free "upgrade". I mean really think of it as getting a faster return on your money.

Asymmetric is the front-wheel-drive of the computer world.
Anyone think residential service will EVER become symmetric? |

Anyone think residential service will EVER become symmetric? asymetric is used a lot these days due to marketing but yea it'll change as our needs grow... maybe someday... some have 10/10, 5/5, 25/25 etc in other countries and they can do more with their connection...
asymetric means that there's got to be a lot of bandwidth from others to be useful... why do asymetric sucks? just imagine if both of your computer can only receive files fast but if you want to send to each other, it's capped at low speed so it is frustrating. because low upload speed is intentional, is artificial, it isn't what it's suppose to be...we are being sold an empty bag that someone with symetric conneciton will only be able to fill it up fast the rest gotta take their sweet time, the whole point of asymetric. satellite is the worst kind of asymetric and most users hate it so it is proven that user are not pleased when they can't upload much or their download suffers because their isn't enough upload bandwidth to compensate for it. |
