Re: my thoughts
Also, its not cheap deploying the elements at the end of that fiber pipe, let alone what the fiber is connected to in the first place. What good is a local-loop segment capable of 5,10, 20, or even 100 Mbps if they run smack into a telco's core ATM that has trouble supporting 1.5x256 copper local loops without over-subscribing 5-10x?
I cannot imagine an ATM or routed core in a telco network where no over-subscription takes place and 100-Mbps is delivered to the customer. That's a pipe dream and I doubt, seriously doubt, it will get done before I die.
My stance on this is based on the 'best effort' business model. Best effort with no minimum guarantee of service, which is today's business model in the wholesaler world. |

...if only in a few areas. I'm using Qwest's FTTN right now, which uses VDSL from the fiber termination to the premises. So it can work. |
