Re: FIRST POST

Well, Verizon has found Coax good for 270Mbps and is now using it inside the home rather than fiber, to cut costs.

Name me a telco that has technology that can deliver anywhere NEAR that figure (even theoretically).

You are right that fiber all the way is the wave of the future. But for the forseeable future, Cable has a marked advantage vis-a-vi the bandwidth it COULD offer the end user over existing infrastructures.

RJ45. The telcos can run fiber to the outside of the home and RJ45 into the house. Sure, there is a cost of running that RJ45 into the house, but it's not a show stopper.
