Re: Easy fix just offer 300Mbps said by etaadmin:AT&T's tired old phone wires ads were true and accurate, they are old and tired.
How old is "old"? The AT&T copper in my old neighborhood is less than three years old.

How old is "old"? The AT&T copper in my old neighborhood is less than three years old. Well in my neighborhood the cables date to the mid 50s but the technology is way over a century »www.americaslibrary.gov/jb/recon···e_1.html ... that is OLD.

What were the first words ever spoken on the telephone? They were spoken by Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, when he made the first call on March 10, 1876, to his assistant, Thomas Watson: "Mr. Watson--come here--I want to see you." What would you have said?
I would have said Mr Watson f%$k U, |

In my old neighborhood the houses are just shy of forty-eight years old; but AT&T replaced the F2 binder less than three years ago.
So coax is the young "whipper snapper, eh?

I don't think so! 
For that matter, "Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification" is older (1997) than "Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line" (1998)!

Oh, really?
[Reflecting on the AT&T truck with with the big spools of 100-pair binder replacing the F2 span in the old neighborhood less than thee years ago.]
A lot of U-verse deployment depends on rebuilding the "Last Mile" to make it work.
