Verizon FTTP

Why is everyone so nasty when it comes to talk about future broadband deployments? Verizon is servicing people with FIBER TO THE HOME right now... 15,20,30 mbit connections! In these locations, it has driven the cable companies to provide 20mbit and 30mbit connections, at least here in the NY Metro area!

Verizon is doing a good thing. They CAN NOT snap their fingers and give EVERYONE fiber at the same time. It takes YEARS. Your best bet RIGHT NOW is to live in a well-to-do area and somewhere where the local politicians won't oppose the deployment along with a fairly dense area. They are a business, they NEED to make money. They are not going to install service for people who don't demand it and they simply CAN NOT.

The worse thing is that people continue to compare century old copper phone lines to fiber. There is NO comparison. It is VERY expensive to build/maintain copper service. Fiber is VERY cheap after the initial install to maintain and service. The distant limit on fiber is NEARLY LIMITLESS since it is many multiples higher than DSL limits and 99.9% of people live within the limits for fiber to work perfectly.
