Don't forget that Robin Masters will also be getting symmetrical fiber too. |

Well if Verizon isn't above putting a premium on it's FTTH pricing plans, why should TWC?
On the other hand, they both screw the consumer in terms of real value/true competition.. they both could do much, much, much (infinity X) better.. |

Well Karl is already bashing TWC this morning. At least they're deploying FTTH. Many other provides would still deploy HFC. |

Re: fiber to the $$ bank $$...
very true. But he should at least give the two credit for deploying FTTH. You don't see AT$T doing much of it or even Qwest. WOW! and Bright House are far from FTTH. |

Magnum would get symmetrical 100Mbps too because he lives with Higgins. TC and Rick would be stuck with the slower speeds.
Is anyone surprised by this? The expensive and new developments get FTTH while everyone else is out in the cold. Gee, maybe it is because they all can afford it and the price to deploy this fiber and terminate it at both ends is quite expensive.
I am not surprised in the least bit.

With that kind of speed, 100 Mbps, there's no reason Zeus and Apollo shouldn't be allowed to wirelessly leach off their connection. |

| cheaper for Cable MSO's
One thing for the cable companies it will be cheaper for them to run fiber to the home because they already have Fiber to the node in their HFC plant. Which is at street service level.
So for those of you who think ATT is running the latest and greatest tech, they are doing pretty much what the cable co's have been doing. Uverse is noce for competition, but it is a joke. They should have did what verizon has done. Fiber to the house. |

Why stick to coax for new build outs? FTTH is obviously the best solution for high bandwidth end user deployment. TWC isn't dumb. They'll counter market against FiOS, but they know what the real truth is. Fiber is superior. |

Re: fiber to the $$ bank $$...
it maybe in select markets as VZ has been talking about doing FTTN in select areas. Why create 2 brand names? just create 1 and make them use to different technologies. |

Re: cheaper for Cable MSO's
they do in select areas. Monroe County MI was one of SBC's first trial areas. Carlton MI actually has FTTP but its limited to what U-Verse can do in many areas.
You're not required to by TV either or Telephone in MI. Just have to change over to the Fiber and be prepared not to use any ISP for Internet except Yahoo! |

Re: It makes sense
They could have laid Copper all the way to the doors in that Development.
HI telcom doesnt have anything but DSL. It is around the same speeds but a little cheaper (depending on what the user wants) but TWC could easily match the pricing and speed. |

Re: Correction
Well there is going to be a point when all new developments have fiber to the home, while old developments will sit on old technology for a long while. And it makes perfect since to start off the installation of a new medium in an area where everyone will easily pay for your highest tier. You have to start somewhere. Anyone know the eventual price of this fiber service? |
