Re: No benefit For those of us who are pushing FTTH, we do so for the following reasons, none which are factored into Netflix's rankings:
1. FTTH provides for a more stable connection, with fewer interferences between the customer and the ISP.
2. FTTH provides more symmetrical speeds, or at least, faster upload speeds.
3. The cost to run FTTH has decreased significantly, and allows for much more expansion in the future without major infrastructure changes.
4. Our doctors tell us to eat more fiber, well, we want more fiber. 
5. If you're going to rebuild a major highway, it would make economical sense to lay fiber optics at the same time. The cost is so minimal.

All of these things are a no brainer, especially #1 and #2. DOCSIS even with DOCSIS 3.1 still has a pretty bad achilles' heel. |

No. 2. is not true. It depends on the provider entirely. I have seen some providers selling download/upload at a 100/1 ratio over fiber. |

They sell those plans, but it is not a technical limitation. The tech is fully symmetrical by design. On the other hand, Cable and DSL are both asymmetrical by design and upload speeds there cannot go much higher than they are now.

I swear, some people should have pace-makers installed to free up the resources. Breathing and heart beat taxes their whole system, all of their brain cells wasted on life support.-two bit brains, and the second bit is wasted on parity! ~head_spaz |
