Gigabit advertising in Vegas

Lol. Last month Cox announced Vegas will be getting in gigabit from cox. Now centurylink is advertising gigabit. Unfortunately, every time I ask centurylink about gigabit, I get a "no". Not to mention, cox doubled everybodies speed.

Cox announced Gigabit service. If I remember correctly, the announcement said it would be at least a year before it was available. There are some places where Cox has run fiber, so they may get is sooner.

CenturyLink has it available in limited areas. Mostly, it is new construction areas where they are running fiber. There are a couple existing areas that already have fiber. For everyone else, speed increases are limited to what they can provide with VDSL upgrades at the DSLAM. Mine went live last week, but I had already switched to Cox, who just ran cable down my street in June.

Yeah, if CL doesn't hurry up with their fiber rollout, they're going to be crushed by cable companies and companies already balls deep in the fiber game like Verizon.
